Lendlease and Invesco Real Estate, the global real estate investment manager, have announced that fashion and lifestyle brand, TK Maxx, will join the retail offer at Queensgate Shopping Centre in March. They will become the latest in a string of both international and independent brands to join the centre. TK Maxx have secured a 37,500 sq ft unit on Queensgate’s Upper Mall where they will bring a vast selection of luxury and well-loved brands and add to their extensive presence across Europe. The store’s flexible no-walls design allows departments to expand and contract to reflect the latest trends and changing consumer tastes. News of the move follows a successful 2019 for Queensgate Shopping Centre, during which John Lewis & Partners’ unveiled their new-look store. A £21 million investment enhanced its layout across 134,942 sq ft of prime retail space. The new look John Lewis & Partners store forms part of a wider £60 million extension for Queensgate, anchored by a ten-screen Empire Cinema. The extension will provide a further 77,000 sq ft of prime retail and restaurant space, and is set to be completed by Autumn 2021. Several high-profile brands opened their doors in Queensgate last year including Skechers, Swarovski, Deichmann and Disney. They took 16,196 sq ft of space, whilst the centre also welcomed independent local gastropub, Tap & Tandoor. The TK Maxx store works will begin in March 2020, with opening date due to be mid 2021.
