Shelley Sandzer, the leading UK leisure property agency, has secured a new site on behalf of Everyman Cinema within Canary Wharf’s Crossrail Place development. The 10,800 sq ft space is anticipated to begin trading on May 15.
The boutique cinema operator is to be located on the second lower level of the new development, where Crossrail is due to open in 2018, and will sit alongside well-known brands including Psycle, Bespoke and Big Easy.
Bar and restaurant area
Offering three screens in total, the cinema space will be comprised of two larger 105-seat screens and a more intimate 60-seat screen. The interior layout will feature a mixture of luxurious armchairs, sofas, footrests and tables. In addition, a large bar and restaurant area is planned to accommodate around 60 people seated and 100 at capacity.
Commenting on the deal, Casey Phillips, acquisitions agent at Shelley Sandzer, said: “Historically, Canary Wharf has been extremely well sought-after as a leisure destination, due to its large density of office workers and high net worth corporate tenant mix.
“With impressive A3 and A4 operators such as The Big Easy, Breakfast Club and Sticks and Sushi forming part of the confirmed tenant line up, there is little doubt that the much anticipated Crossrail Place and its promenade will be extremely popular.”
