Sven Töpel, Chief Executive of Brookgate said: “We are pleased to welcome costa, Co-op and Le Gros Franck to CB1. These lettings clearly demonstrate CB1’s unique ability to attract local and international brands alike. They will also create new jobs, ensuring that the development offers a complementary addition to the convenience retail and restaurant provision in the City.”
The three TP Bennett designed student accommodation buildings were completed by Brookgate and construction firm Wates Construction in June 2012, making way for the first wave of students that moved into the blocks in September 2012.
Bidwells and Savills acted for Brookgate in the transaction, with Costa, Co-op and Le Gros Franck acting for themselves.
