Cadogan has secured the first retail tenants at its £235m The Gaumont development on the King’s Road in London.
BookBar has taken a 1,242 sq ft unit for an independent bookshop, wine and coffee bar; New Forms has signed for a 1,045 sq ft vinyl café and boutique record shop; and Art Play will initially establish itself at 20a Chelsea Manor Street before relocating to a larger 2,200 sq ft space at 5 Chelsea Manor Street.
All of the operators are set to open in late spring 2025 at the 220,000 sq ft mixed-use building, which also features a cinema, pub theatre, office space and a rooftop bar.
Hugh Seaborn, CEO of Cadogan, said: “The Gaumont is a new landmark that celebrates the community, heritage, and artistic spirit of Chelsea. From the outset, we have collaborated closely with local residents to shape a development that reflects their vision, celebrating Chelsea’s cultural heritage, while supporting its thriving creative scene.
“Welcoming BookBar, New Forms, and Art Play will establish Chelsea Manor Street as a dynamic day-to-night destination for both locals and visitors. We look forward to seeing these businesses thrive and contribute to the continued evolution of King’s Road as a world-class cultural and retail destination.”
