Developer completes trio of Northern retail projects
18th March 2025 Northern developer Almscliffe-Dhesi (AD) has completed three major retail projects in the North East of England and North Lincolnshire. The developments in Peterlee, Crook, and Scunthorpe are each home to national retailers and open for business. In Peterlee, AD has transformed a disused Vauxhall car dealership on the outskirts of the town into a local convenience cluster. Tenants at the 13,027 sq ft development include Sainsbury’s, The Tanning Shop, Greggs, Dominos, CVS Vets, and EVC Electric Vehicle Chargers. The Peterlee development is for sale, with a final 1,250 sq ft unit available to let. In Crook, AD has bought a redundant 2,240 sq ft unit on South Street which has been divided in two, with Domino’s and Banking Hub now in residence. This development is also for sale. In Scunthorpe, AD has completed a 7,300 sq ft roadside scheme that includes a Starbucks drive-through, a Co-op, and The Tanning Shop, along with electric vehicle charging ports. The Starbucks unit has been sold to the franchisee K Beverage, whilst the rest of the development has been acquired by a private investor. Alongside these new openings, AD has also commenced work on a new retail development at Faverdale in north west Darlington....
