Harrogate retail development “transformed” as it welcomes trio of tenants

A two-year project to transform a vacant retail unit on one of Harrogate’s most prominent streets has completed.

The unit on Cambridge Street was purchased by Broadland Properties in 2020 and the 25,000 sq ft former Topshop store has now been reconfigured into a mixed-use retail and leisure development. New tenants include Sainsbury’s, Cosy Club and Skipton Building Society.

Construction firm JP Wild was the main contractor and Leeds property consultancy GV&Co has project managed the development over the last 24 months.

Matt Harriman, associate director of GV&Co, said: “It’s great to see this scheme come to such a successful conclusion, with an impressive line-up of new retail and leisure tenants taking their place on this busy Harrogate high street.

“Now fully let and brought back to life with Sainsbury’s, Cosy Club and Skipton Building Society all in place, we have thoroughly enjoyed working with a big project team.

“Our building consultancy team works on a vast range of refurbishment schemes and new build projects driven by high demand from landlords, occupiers and investors across the industrial market and all other property sectors.

“This project in Harrogate has been really rewarding and we are currently working on a number of other exciting developments across the country.”
