Rapleys’ retail team has been retained by London Stansted Airport, part of Manchester Airports Group (MAG), as retail partner and brand consultant on the airport’s upcoming expansion.
The expansion will see an extra 177,604 sq ft of commercial space delivered costing £700m as part of a £1.2bn investment in the airport by MAG.
It is anticipated the extension will attract multiple new retail and F&B brands to the airport.
Dan Kent, head of retail at Rapleys, said: “Stansted Airport is a hugely popular location, serving record numbers of passengers year on year. We are working on a transformational and innovative occupier strategy for the extension with MAG which offers huge opportunities for brands that want to be front and centre of the customer experience and reap the rewards of being part of Europe’s busiest single terminal within the next seven years. We are already in discussions with some really exciting brands and look forward to sharing news on the future of retail and hospitality at Stansted in due course.”
