Chelmsford retail park fully let following Waitrose opening
Chelmer Village Retail Park in Chelmsford, Essex is now fully let following the opening of Waitrose at the Redevco-owned scheme.
The 10,055 sq ft store includes a 7,000 sq ft sales area, and features two dedicated trolley bays within the car park.
This follows Redevco’s acquisition of a £518m UK retail park portfolio in December 2024 from Oxford Properties, which included Chelmer Village.
Redevco said leasing momentum has gathered pace across its portfolio in recent months. The Food Warehouse by Iceland has recently replaced Carpetright at Bolton Gate Retail Park. In Staines, The Range took over Homebase’s lease at the beginning of 2025 and subsequently committed to a new lease in December 2025.
Lauren Chew, asset manager at Redevco, said: “Waitrose’s decision to launch its newest store at Chelmer Village is a strong endorsement of the park. We are seeing sustained retailer appetite for well-located, convenience-led retail parks, and this collaboration demonstrates the strength of the asset.”
CSP Retail and Green Lane Real Estate are the retained letting agents at Chelmer Village Park.
