A Nottingham property developer which has plans to make a city high street “cool again” says most of the empty units it has bought are filling up.
Arran Bailey, managing director of ALB Group, announced just six months ago that his company was buying up empty shops in Nottingham’s pedestrianised Bridlesmith Gate, with plans to revive the area. He said he wanted to offer incentives to bring businesses in and make it like London’s Carnaby Street.
He said all but one of the units have now been filled with the area bustling again thanks to independent operators and increased footfall – supported by Nottingham retail and leisure specialists Box Property Consultants.
