M Core acquires 99,000 sq ft Telford leisure scheme

M Core has acquired Southwater Square, a 99,000 sq ft leisure scheme in Telford, Shropshire.
The scheme is anchored by a line-up of national operators including Cineworld, Premier Inn, Miller & Carter, Zizzi, Willow, Pizza Express, Nando’s, and Bella Italia.
The asset also benefits from a 602-space multi-storey car park as well as access from Junction 5 of the M54.
LCP UK, part of M Core, will manage the asset.
James Buchanan, group managing director at LCP UK, said: “Southwater Square presents exactly the kind of opportunity we look for, a well-located leisure destination with strong existing footfall and the ability to enhance performance through intensive management. We see real potential to curate the tenant mix further, working closely with occupiers and stakeholders to ensure the scheme continues to thrive as a central part of Telford’s offer.”
Osborne Clarke and McGregor Wyn advised M Core, whilst Savills and Knight Frank represented the vendor.
