A BRADFORD property development company is welcoming two new tenants to The Arcade in Ripon after completing a £100,000 refurbishment of site.
Frank Marshall Estates bought the 16,484 sq ft, multi-let arcade off a guide price of £2.2m from the Westcourt Group in 2019.
Yorkshire Cancer Research and The Real Junk Food Project are moving into the popular arcade.
Edward Marshall, director of Frank Marshall Estates, said: “These are two great deals for everyone concerned. The arcade, which links the city’s main car park to the historic Market Square, is a fabulous new location for both Yorkshire Cancer Research and The Real Junk Foot Project. It is the beating heart of the city, with a really strong and consistent footfall."
Ripon Arcade, which faces the Market Square, has 15 units currently occupied by North Yorkshire County Council and retailers such as Scriven Opticians, Home Bargains, the British Heart Foundation, Blue Cross, Westwood’s Barbershop and Social, Cafe Tempo, PR Books and the Card Factory.
There is one empty 241 sq ft unit empty but Edward Marshall is confident that the new tenants will lead to increased occupier interest in the arcade.
