Completion for Blyth retail scheme
Development of a £4.5m project at South Beach in Blyth has been finished, with three businesses already open.
Greggs, Caffe Ginevra and Shorelocks Hair and Beauty have all opened their doors at The Links, which will also be welcoming a Co-op convenience store in the coming weeks.
North East retail consultancy @retail, acting for Blagdon Estate and Kingsmead Developments, has recently completed a fifth letting to Breeze, a bistro bar and events business which will open in June.
The letting to Breeze means only three units currently remain within the first phase of the coastal hub.
Stuart Hall, director of Kingsmead Developments, said: “Reaching completion of phase one is a fantastic milestone and with summer around the corner, it’s the perfect time for our first tenants to open their doors.
“Following our recent letting to Breeze, another exciting new business will soon be arriving here in this beautiful part of the Northumberland coastline. Given the prominence of the scheme and coastal position, we are confident that lettings will be secured for the final three units in the coming months.”
Jonathan Chapman, @retail’s associate director, said: “Only three units remain available at The Links – a 1,200 sq ft unit for a hot food business, a 1,103 sq ft unit in the main terrace, and the 4,520 sq ft first floor, with fantastic views over the beach and surrounding countryside, making it ideal for a restaurant or leisure facility.”
