Fulham Broadway Retail Centre
Owners: Hammersmith Shopping Centre Ltd.
Date of purchase: December 2005

Fulham Broadway Retail Centre is located in a vibrant affluent part of South West London and comprises 196 000 sq ft of lettable space. The building was opened in October 2002 and has a striking glass fronted design which faces onto the Fulham Road.

Substantial footfall, in excess of 10m, is generated by Fulham Broadway Underground Station, which is within the scheme, and combined with local bus services together with the 146 space car park make The Broadway the main transit hub for the area.

The Centre is a mixed scheme with a very strong emphasis on leisure, having a 9 nine screen Vue cinema; 5 restaurants with 800 covers; a bar and a David Lloyd Health Club complete with a 20m swimming pool. The leisure tenants reside on the top 3 floors together with 5000 sq ft of office space. 16 Retail units are located on the ground floor which benefit from the significant pedestrian flow generated by the Underground.

Major tenants include Sainsburys, Boots, Borders Express, Virgin, Nandos, Weatherspoon and Pizza Express.

Chelsea Football Club is adjacent to the scheme and as part of the Development; the existing Underground Station was redesigned to safely accommodate the huge influx of fans attending the stadium. On match days, whilst the majority fans do not come through the mall exit from the station, the Centre’s footfall still increases by about 25%.
