Lucrative preservation

Article Abstract:

It is becoming increasingly difficult to secure attractive retail units in Chester, England. There are a number of plans for retail development in the city, including a 30 million pounds sterling second phase of The Forum shopping centre on Town Hall Square. This will produce larger, regular-shaped retail units, and will also cover the market. In the office property market, the most attractive property is Scottish Widows' Chester Business Park, where rents have reached very high levels. Office rents in the centre of Chester remain relatively low.

The retail market is underdeveloped with few of the major retailing chains able to find sufficient space. Camden is well-known for its weekly clothes market.
