In June this year, Carigiet Cowen reported that we were actively marketing some prime retail units in Carlisle. The properties situated on and around English Street provided good pitches ahead of the anticipated grand opening of PRIMARK which is due to take place this week on 6th October.
One of the companies who were quick to snap up one of these prime spots is National Retailer Sharps Bedrooms who are due to open within the next couple of weeks and will be trading from 14-16 English Street which was previously let to Australian ladies fashion company Taking Shape. The bedroom company who had a concessionary sales area in Homebase at Kingstown have now moved to this high street location next to TopShop and The Entertainer.
In addition, just over three months down the line, we are also pleased to announce that 35-37 Fisher Street previously trading as Bon Apetit has been let to a private individual who will be operating a similar business from the unit. The unit will continue to provide a daytime café with outdoor seating for those sunny days in Carlisle and in addition will offer an evening menu.
The former Bookends Unit within the Crown & Mitre block has recently received strong interest with a number of viewings leading to proposals from national retailers offering different uses.
Whilst City Centre availability is quite limited at present, Carigiet Cowen is advertising some good opportunities including:-
17/18 St Cuthbert’s Lane - The unit is fully refurbished and ready for immediate occupation. The former opticians now benefits from an additional A1 Use Class consent and provides approximately 950 sq ft of sales area with staff facilities.
68 Lowther Street – The former Farmfoods provides City Centre presence located close to The Lanes and benefits from a superb glazed frontage on to Lowther Street with return frontage to Chapel Street. The open plan accommodation is suitable for a variety of uses.
Carigiet Cowen are also advertising units in good secondary locations such as Earls Lane and Botchergate were it is understood a large amount of floor space has recently been let to operators who are on the leisure circuit.
