Solihull’s Touchwood welcomes Oliver Bonas to its line-up
The Touchwood shopping centre Solihull is approaching full occupancy following the addition of Oliver Bonas to its line-up.
The fashion and homeware retailer has taken a 3,015 square foot space within the Mill Lane Arcade area of the scheme.
The letting means that Touchwood is now 98.5% occupied following new signings in the past year by Mango, Levi Strauss & Co, Mint Velvet and Dune. Other major retailers with a presence at the centre include Apple, John Lewis, Zara, Tag Heuer and Rituals.
Following its acquisition of Touchwood in mid-2021, owner The Ardent Companies and asset manager Sovereign Centros from CBRE have been working to strengthen and diversify the scheme.
Andrew Hilston, managing director at The Ardent Companies, said: “Touchwood’s success shows that, when the right brands are in place, shoppers appreciate the benefits that only bricks-and-mortar retail destinations can provide.
“Reaching 98.5% occupancy is a huge milestone for the scheme and is emblematic of our strategy, which has focused relentlessly on bringing the best names and widest offer possible to the shoppers of Solihull.
“Oliver Bonas is indicative of the brands we have targeted, and its arrival further strengthens an offer that leads the way in the West Midlands.”
