The Crown Estate has appointed Avison Young and JLL on its Northamptonshire retail and leisure complex Rushden Lakes.
The mandate marks the first retail instruction for Avison Young since it acquired Wilkinson Williams.
Rushden Lakes opened last year, containing 270,000 sq ft of retail and restaurant space. Its anchors include M&S, Primark, Boots and JD Sports.
It will complete two extensions early next year: a 160,000 sq ft leisure extension, anchored by a 14-screen Cineworld, and a 13-unit retail extension spanning 17,500 sq ft.
Avison Young’s UK team now tallies more than 100, following a series of acquisitions made since it entered the country in 2014 with the purchase of Haywards.
