Dolphin Square demolition imminent

摘要

The last retailers are about to leave Dolphin Square shopping centre in Weston-Super-Mare in preparation for the demolition of the 1960s precinct that will leave the town centre with a 275,000 sq ft development site. Demolition will begin next month by McLaren Life - the joint venture between the McLaren Group and Life Properties that bought Dolphin Square two years ago. So far, only restaurant and leisure operators have agreed to prelets, but McLaren Life managing director Simon Berry says: "We have a number of leads, because a lot of leases are coming to an end." Bowling alley operator 1st Bowl is relocating from the old Dolphin Square, while Pure Gym will be a newcomer.
