GPE signs up clothing brands for Regent Street stores

GPE has signed new 10-year leases with The North Face and Joseph on Regent Street, W1. VF Corp, which trades as The North Face, is expanding its global flagship store at GPE’s Walmar House. The clothing brand’s new space is around 10,000 sq ft across the ground and basement floors, which will increase its retail footprint by a third. The North Face has traded at the Walmar House site since 2015. Further south on Regent Street, British contemporary designer fashion brand Joseph has signed a lease for a new 1,350 sq ft store at Kingsland House. GPE said the deal completes the repositioning of the retail offering at Kingsland House and Carrington House, where TUMI, Russell & Bromley, Pret A Manger and The Body Shop all completed new leases last year. This will be Joseph’s sixth London stand-alone store.
