Leeds law firm brings £10m Harrogate town centre complex to market

Property developer 4Urban’s flagship scheme in the centre of Harrogate boasts over 90% of space let after receiving support from the property team at law firm, Shulmans LLP.

The multi-use development, which finished its launch schedule this month with the opening of the Everyman cinema, is also currently negotiating lettings for the last two remaining units.

In addition to the five-screen cinema venue with its own food and drinking offering, leisure unit tenants include Ask Italian, Byron, Cau, Cote Brasserie, Veeno and YO! Sushi.

A brand-new opening has also been confirmed as membership-based beauty salon, Spruce Moose.

The legal work for the £10m scheme has been overseen by commercial property specialist and partner at Shulmans LLP, Dawn Carlisle.

Carlisle, working with 4Urban since the purchase of the Harrogate town centre site in 2009, has helped bring the site to market, notably in the complex coordination of the leisure unit lettings.

As a full service law firm, Shulmans was also able to provide the construction consultancy for the build, with Rebecca Dibb and the wider construction team advising on building contracts and professional team appointments.

Additional firm specialisms utilised included the counsel of planning expert Amanda Beresford, and Luke Maidens for telecom matters.

Paul Lancaster, managing director of 4Urban Consulting, said: “It’s been a pleasure working with Shulmans to bring this development to fruition, as its wide variety of specialisms has ensured we were able to effectively solve all legal elements efficiently with a 360-degree approach.

“The result has been a smooth opening process and our tenants are already trading successfully.”

Dawn Carlisle, partner at Shulmans LLP, added: “This has been a long-term project and one that has been an honour to work on. 4Urban’s team approach has made this an enjoyable development to be involved in and which is a welcome addition to the region.”
