Quintain wants to attract further innovative concepts to join its growing collection of independent and big-name brands at its Wembley Park, north London project. That means the commercial property developer has appointed CF Commercial as its retail and leisure leasing agent, joining existing agent Nash Bond.

"Quintain has added to its team in order to take its vision for retail and leisure at the multi-billion pound transformation of Wembley Park to the next level, through the appointment”, the company said.

Described as “one of the largest and most ambitious urban transformation projects in Europe”, the mixed-use centre, adjacent to the national Wembley stadium, will feature over 500,000 sq ft of retail and leisure, including some 240,000 sq ft of new-build, and will be home to 20,000 full-time residents by 2027.

“During the pandemic, the emphasis on community-living has soared as people were discouraged from moving outside their neighbourhoods. This echoes Quintain’s vision for a 15-minute neighbourhood across its 85 acres with a full range of amenities”, said Quintain.

Specialising in creating urban neighbourhoods and districts, CF Commercial has worked to shape some of London and the UK’s most recognisable areas, including Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Elephant & Castle and Broadgate Quarter.
 
Craig Fisher, MD of CF Commercial, said: “Working to bring existing and emerging innovative retail and leisure concepts to Wembley Park, a new neighbourhood that is steeped in history and brimming with potential, is massively exciting".

He added: "As one of the most ambitious urban transformation projects in Europe, there are incredible opportunities for brands to create long lasting legacies in this iconic destination.”

Wembley Park is already home to one of London's most successful retail destinations with the existing London Designer Outlet having consistently generated strong sales and attracted major-name tenants since it opened.
