The Capitol Centre is one of three such retail parks bought by the London-based firm in the four months. The huge shopping and leisure facility, just off the A6, hosts a range of shops including a recently opened Home Bargains and a Next store alongside a Vue Cinema, a gym and outlets including McDonald's and Subway. It was snapped up by British Land for a deal worth £51.5m.In the same period, the firm also sold its 50% share in Deepdale Retail Park for £30.3m.
Kelly Cleveland, the head of strategy and investment at British Land, said in a release: “With retailers increasingly focused on the role of their stores, retail parks have emerged as a preferred format, due to their compatibility with omni-channel retail, their affordability and appeal to online resilient businesses. This is driving good occupational demand across the portfolio reflected in our 97 percent occupancy and growing estimated rental values .
