GCW has been appointed as joint leasing agent at Market Place in Bolton by Blackstar Real Estate, working alongside Barker Proudlove to advise on new retail and leisure lettings at the scheme.

Located in Bolton town centre, Market Place provides approximately 400,000 sq ft of retail, food and beverage, and leisure space. The scheme is anchored by the recently opened 40,000 sq ft Primark, with other occupiers including Next, JD, H&M, Nando’s, and The Light Cinema. It also hosts a leisure and dining offer within The Vaults.

The scheme benefits from a 500-space car park, public transport connections, and an annual footfall of over 5.5 million visitors.

Nick Warr, head of GCW’s Owner team said: “Market Place presents an exciting opportunity for retailers and leisure operators to join an already strong occupier line-up.

“We look forward to working with Blackstar Real Estate and our joint agent in delivering the business strategy for the centre.”

Sabri Marsaoui, chief executive of Blackstar Real Estate, added: “GCW brings considerable experience and market knowledge to the project and we look forward to working with them as we continue to evolve the occupier mix at Market Place.”
