The retail units maximize the space available, providing the very latest store design. Both retail units will be fitted with its own dedicated passenger lift. Rear access to both retails units will facilitate car parking and deliveries.

A glazed two storey shop front enhances the visual impression of each unit and incorporates the 1 st floor retail. The design of the shop front provides a European feel allowing customers to walk into the foyer area to view the window displays. First floor balconies look down the ground floor display area resulting in an airy, cosmopolitan feel.
