This bespoke scheme is designed to attract the highest quality retailers and therefore attention to detail is the key theme in the refurbishment of this historic listed building.
There will be six small units of between 280 sq ft and 530 sq ft and two larger anchor units of approximately 1,500 sq ft and 2,000 sq ft, which could be combined to provide a superb retailing/catering presence.
Whether it is the handmade lighting from the Limehouse Lamp Company of Sussex, the careful re-use of the best of the original York stone paving, the hand turned wrought iron ornamental gates or the sustainably sourced hard wood within the shop front design, the scheme aims to offer the distinguished retailer an environment to match.
There will be two levels of trading linked by a new steel and glass lift and a glass balustraded feature staircase creating an attractive and efficient means of travel between levels. The whole scheme sits behind the impressive colonnaded front of this Nash designed elevation to create a shopping destination of note tempting the high volume of passing shoppers circulating in this prime North Street position, yards from the Medieval Cross at the heart of the city’s shopping areas.
