Healthcare companies take 12,800 sq ft in Denton

British Land has secured three new tenants at Crownpoint Retail Park: diagnostic expert InHealth, CVS Vets, and MyDentist.

Of the three, InHealth has taken the largest space, leasing 12,800 sq ft for a community diagnostic centre.

MyDentist has claimed 5,300 sq ft, while CVS Vets has taken over 2,500 sqf ft.

In leasing the space, they join fellow tenants TK Maxx, Aldi, SportsDirect, and Superdrug at the 212,000 sq ft shopping complex off Ashton Road.

InHealth chief executive Geoff Searle shared more about why the company had chosen Crownpoint for its next location.

“Retail parks provide ideal locations for high quality, accessible diagnostic facilities, and a great experience for our patients with free parking and a range of surrounding amenities,” Searle explained.

“Retail park sites offer modern flexible spaces with low cost to fit out and low running costs,” he continued.

“Across our nationwide network of CDCs, we’ve seen the real difference and positive impact that centres like these can bring for patients, focussed on improving health outcomes, so we are proud of what our partnership with British Land will deliver for local people and we hope to work together to deliver many more projects like Denton.”

British Land’s head of retail parks, Matthew Reed, added: “With 40% of England’s population located within a 30-minute drive of British Land’s portfolio, leading healthcare brands are showing increasing interest in our retail parks.

“Providers embedded within the community are providing a crucial service for patients, cutting waiting times for core services such as blood tests or X-rays,” he continued.

“This not only taps into a significant growth market but also broadens the demographic of our retail park customers and increases the reasons for visiting our retail parks and the time spent there.”
