What: Westfield UK shopping centres have seen a continued growth in store upsizes according to Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW).
Why it is important: The rising trend of upsizing stores has created a strong half-year in retail leasing for the company.
Westfield London and Westfield Stratford City saw increased demand from retailers that wanted to increase their stores’ sizes such as Whistles; Rituals, Bucherer, Zara, and EE Studio.
URW also reported sportswear signings and store openings surged by brands including New Balance, Origin Kicks, and Lids.
