St Modwen submits plans for Stoke-on-Trent retail park

 

St Modwen has lodged plans for the 42,100 sq ft Phoenix Retail Park at Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.

 

The plans for the redevelopment of this former timber works site include five shops together with a drive thru restaurant and parking for 233 cars. 

 

Lettings have been agreed with McDonald’s for the restaurant, and retailers Smyths Toys and Pets @ Home to occupy a 15,000 sq ft and 7,500 sq ft unit respectively.

 

The company is also in discussions with other parties for the remaining retail units which range from 5,100-7,500 sq ft.

 

It is anticipated that Phoenix Retail Park will deliver up to 160 new jobs in the local community.

 

Subject to planning approval, St. Modwen anticipates construction beginning on site at Phoenix Retail Park in early 2011 with completion ready for occupiers to take advantage of the Christmas trading period.
