M Park Central 12, in Southport, is fully occupied after securing a spate of new lettings.  

LCP, part of M Core, has announced four new deals at the town centre retail park, totalling almost 30,000 sq ft.

The largest of the lettings has seen Cancer Research open a 10,086 sq ft outlet at Unit 4 on a 10-year lease, replacing the former Poundland store. 

Global fitness provider, Snap Fitness, has signed for 15 years on Unit 5, which is home to a new 10,022 sq ft state-of-the-art gym.

McDonalds has taken up the 4,562 sq ft residence in Unit 11, on a 25-year lease.

The new lettings are completed by furniture retailer Caissa UK, which is occupying 2,773 sq ft at Unit 6a1 on a 10-year term.

LCP has invested in a series of improvements to the retail park, including an EV charging provision, which will see eight new PoGo Touch Plus Ultra-Rapid DC charging points being installed this summer. Additionally, the site has had refreshed M Core signage installed as part of its European branding roll-out, providing instant recognition of the locations managed by the Pan-European collective.

In recent weeks, the parking at the Southport destination  has had a well-received change after being taken over from Sefton Council. M Park Central 12 is now offering consumers two hours of complimentary parking and multiple cashless options to pay for longer visits.

LCP Director, Barry Flint, said: “We are incredibly proud to see the transformation of M Park Central 12, which is at full occupancy for the first time in almost two decades. We’ve made a long-term commitment to improving facilities at the park and delivering a better shopping experience for consumers.

“This milestone is a significant achievement and reinforces our approach to enhancing retail destinations across the UK.” 

Catherine Gunz of Osborne Clark and Sophie Faulkner of LCP’s in-house legal team completed the transaction for the new lettings. LCP’s agents for this property were Tom Wyatt of Harvey Spack Field and Mark Crookes of McMullen Real Estate.
