St James Securities worked as Hornbeam Park Developments Ltd’s Development Manager to deliver a new M&S Simply Food Store on a prominent gateway site on the Leeds Road approach to Harrogate Town Centre.

We identified the opportunity and negotiated the site acquisition (including securing a relocation site and deal for the vendor), identified and secured the pre-let with the operator M&S, worked up and secured planning permission and delivered the completed store to M&S in June 2014.

The store is one of the largest Simply Food stores in the M&S portfolio at 3,142m².
