Leisure deal bowls in to Cardiff

Mansford Real Estate has secured a deal with leisure operator QLP which will see a new bowling, laser quest, diner and bar open at its Cardiff Stadium Plaza development, next to the Millennium stadium. QLP has signed a 25-year lease for the 22,000 sq ft Cardiff Superbowl facility which will open next year at the 160,000 sq ft scheme. It has agreed a rent of £132,500 pa. Mansford has already secured a 14-screen Vue cinema and Pure Gym at the scheme and will shortly announce a further letting to a leisure operator to anchor the ground floor. QLP is led by leisure entrepreneur David Quintaince. He said: “We will be providing leading-edge facilities not currently available in the city centre and will be appealing particularly to families and the student market. It’s next door to a world-famous stadium and right at the heart of the city’s exciting regeneration zone, so we’re very confident about its success.” QLP was not advised; EJ Hales acted for Mansford. alex.horne@estatesgazette.com
