Phase one of the retail development saw Howard Group pre-let c 57,000 sq ft of retail warehousing to the national DIY and home improvement company B&Q.
Having secured the freehold of the land at Interchange from the Southill estate in 2011, B&Q entered into a new 20 year lease, subject to planning. The resultant investment was pre-sold to Highclere Investments and the construction of the building was contractor-funded with RG Carter. The building was handed over to B&Q for fitout in August 2013.
