Newmark supports Accessorize and Monsoon in expansion push

Newmark has secured over 9,000 sq ft of new and expanded stores for Monsoon and Accesorize.

Accessorize’s new and expanded stores include Canada Square in London’s Canary Wharf and The Beacon in Eastbourne, which both opened in May. The jewellery retailer will soon open at Chantry Place in Norwich, and open an upsized store at the Trafford Centre in Manchester before the end of the year. 

Within its travel retail portfolio, Accessorize has refitted and upsized stores in Birmingham Airport and Glasgow Airport. The retailer is also renewing and refurbishing two stores at Gatwick Airport.

Meanwhile, Monsoon opened two new locations at Gatwick Airport in February, marking its first step into travel retail.

Newmark directors Amanda Wakefield and Sharon Daley represented the retailers on the high street and travel retail expansions, respectively.

Amanda Wakefield said: “Monsoon’s and Accessorize’s continued expansion into high-performing retail destinations across the UK reflects its strong positioning and clear growth strategy. It’s been a privilege to represent the brands over the past five years and to support its momentum in securing prominent, high-footfall locations.” 

Sharon Daley added: “Travel retail presents a unique set of opportunities – where visibility, speed and competitive positioning are paramount. We’re proud to support Monsoon and Accessorize in securing strategic locations in some of the UK’s busiest airports, including a significant step forward for the Monsoon brand regarding its first travel retail stores. These wins reflect thoughtful brand alignment, strong execution and a clear understanding of the travel retail environment.”
