The Grosvenor Centre was sold last month (January) by Legal and General to Evolve Estates, a national commercial property and investment company, for an undisclosed fee.

Joe O’Keefe, one of the founding partners of Evolve Estates, said: “We are pleased to have completed this acquisition in an incredibly challenging market, cementing our commitment to continued investment in the retail sector.

“This is one of the largest retail centres to come under our ownership and we’re excited to get to work. We’re already in discussion with numerous tenants who will complement the scheme and the wider Northampton town centre offer.

"It’s also rare to find a scheme like this, with so many positive projects going on in and around it. There are more than £25 million of Government-backed development projects immediately surrounding the centre on three separate sites, with Market Square, Greyfriars and the Abington Quarter, plus the Clock House key worker residential scheme. These will provide significant opportunities for us and the town to grow and fulfil its potential.”

So let’s take a look at the shops still trading inside the Grosvenor and some of the empty units waiting to be filled.
