We expect this trend to continue with opportunities such as Dune shoes and the White Company recently launched for sale.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst the properties may no longer be as popular with institutional owners, private investors are taking confidence from the arrival of new occupiers on the street including strong brands such as Lego, Canada Goose, Dr. Martens, Sketchers, and Castore.\u00a0 It would appear the prime city centre retailing area has recovered from the pandemic with strong footfall levels returning.\u00a0 Private investors are also aware there is value as investment yields have moved from historically low levels of sub 3% to mid 5% and zone A rents have fallen from over \u20ac1,000 per sq ft to somewhere around \u20ac450 to \u20ac500 per sq ft.
