NFUM has secured a new lease with escape room franchise Escape Hunt on a 3,369 sq ft unit at Cathedral Square in Worcester.
The latest letting follows a recent flurry of deals agreed at the scheme with Retroits Arcade taking 2,623 sq ft, Four Leaf Piercing signing for 1,638 sq ft, Worcester Computers taking 3,102 sq ft and Pizza Express and Fitness 4 less signing new leases on 4,530 sq ft and 13,299 sq ft respectively.
Nicole van Zyl, asset management director at Cube, the centre’s asset manager, said: “We also have another lease about to complete to a food retailer, taking 2,826 sq ft, which brings us to 99.3% of the 208,763 sq ft of retail space let, under offer or in legals. Since the start of 2024, we have reduced the vacancy rate from 12% to 0.7% – with just one unit remaining available.
“We are proud to promote and work with local and small businesses and it is great to see the new buzz the local operators have created on the formally quiet Pump Street and College Street. Escape Hunt was the final piece of the puzzle, making Cathedral Square a true retail, F&B and leisure destination.”
