Catella APAM completes six new retail lettings at Cardiff’s Morgan Quarter

Catella APAM, acting on behalf of the Greater Manchester Pension Fund, has completed six new retail lettings over the last eight weeks at Morgan Quarter in Cardiff, totalling approximately 16,000 sq ft.

The new occupiers include De Montfort Fine Art, Kokoro, Amplifon, Pop Specs, Busby & Fox, and Socktopus.

Morgan Quarter comprises a collection of historic shopping arcades linking Cardiff’s principal retail pitches. Through its asset management programme, Catella APAM has created defined retail environments across the scheme, with different pitches from destination fashion and lifestyle to services and food.

Rhys Williams, Aassociate director at Catella APAM, said: “This level of leasing activity reflects both the strength of retailer demand in Cardiff city centre and the effectiveness of our strategy at Morgan Quarter. By curating a balanced tenant mix and creating distinct identities across the arcades, we are ensuring the scheme remains relevant, resilient and attractive to high-quality occupiers.”
 
Rob Palmer, director in the Retail Agency team at Savills Bristol, added: “The recent wave of openings at Morgan Quarter reflects the strength and appeal of the destination as a vibrant location for a diverse mix of retailers. From fashion and lifestyle to specialist services and dining, Morgan Quarter continues to demonstrate its long-term appeal to businesses and consumers alike – and we expect this positive momentum to continue into the coming year, with further new lettings to be announced imminently.”
