DTZ Investors has appointed Cushman & Wakefield to help reposition its King Street retail estate in Manchester.
The firm will work alongside existing agents Lyons Thompson Letts to deliver a refreshed leasing and asset strategy for the 31‑unit portfolio.
The new strategy will focus on attracting high quality, premium occupiers to the area, with King Street’s newest arrivals including Jo Malone, Monica Vinader, ME+EM, and AP House.

Renowned for high‑end fashion, luxury brands, and elegant listed buildings, King Street is a unique part of the city. Our strategy will reinforce its premium positioning, while ensuring that the retail offer remains varied, relevant, and resilient.”
