LONDON-Construction work is now underway on the UK’s second Xscape indoor ski-led retail and leisure scheme on a site beside the M62 in Castleford, Near Leeds in West Yorkshire. The design represents an evolution from the first Xscape in Milton Keynes, and operators Capital & Regional and Pricoa Property Investment Management have already agreed a range of pre-lettings.

The scheme’s anchor attraction will again be an indoor ski facility featuring 1,500 tons of real snow. Inn addition the 360,000-sf scheme will feature indoor climbing walls, bowling alley, multiplex cinema, night club, lifestyle retailers, café bars and restaurants. Completion is scheduled for September 2003.

Pre-lettings have been agreed on 67% of the total floor area. Leisure occupiers will include Cineworld, JD Wetherspoon, Ask, Nando’s and Tootsies. Letting agents FPDSavills and Briant Champion Long are quoting around £25 ($38) per sf for the remaining catering opportunities. And a number of retailers already represented at Milton Keynes have reserved units in the new scheme, including Ellis Brigham in 10,250 sf; Legends Surf Shops in 10,000 sf and Silvertrek in 4,500 sf. Rents of between £17 ($26) and £20 ($30) per sf have been achieved.
