Tenancy Information
Chichester City Centre is a vibrant and attractive retail centre with a core retail floor space totalling around 700000 sq ft. The retail on offer in Chichester is concentrated within the city walls and is focused along two main shopping axes namely North Street/South Street and East Street/West Street; these intersect at the Market Cross.
There are currently no managed shopping centres in Chichester and in light of the historic nature of the retail core there is limited scope for future development. As a result Chichester has one of the lowest vacancy rates in the UK.
The city contains many national multiple retailers including; Marks and Spencer Fat Face Topshop / Topman HandM TK Maxx and River Island. This is accompanied by restaurant occupiers such as Cote Wildwood ASK Brasserie Blanc and Wagamamas.
