Blue Inc joins Frogmore newcomers at Belle Vale

Frogmore Real Estate Partners LP has let another shop unit at its refurbished and extended Belle Vale shopping centre in Liverpool to men's fashion chain Blue Inc.

The retailer will occupy 4,118 sq ft within the centre on a 10-year lease and is set to open in September.

Richard Barker, head of retail at letting agent DTZ in Manchester, commented: "This letting follows hot on the heels of the New Look deal and adds yet another fashion retailer to Belle Vale, strengthening the retail offer within the successful scheme. A number of additional national retailers are in advanced discussions in relation to the 15,500 sq ft extension, which is due to be completed in January 2009."

Belle Valle shopping centre is six miles to south east of Liverpool city centre. Current occupiers include Wilkinson, Woolworths, Peacocks, Game Station and Boots. Argos opened in the scheme in October 2007 and New Look is due to open in November 2008.

Brasier Freeth LLP acted for Blue Inc; DTZ, Jones Lang LaSalle and Atis Real for Frogmore Real Estate Partners LP.
