Henderson Global Investors has agreed a short-term lease with John Lewis concept store 'Open House' at its N1 Shopping Centre in Islington, London.
The 'Open House' pop-up store has signed a temporary lease at the N1 shopping Centre in Islington in order to trial the concept which showcases its interiors range. It represents the first UK store for the retailer.
The 606 m2 store, which opened to the public last week, will trade until 8 November. It will be hosting DJs, gin tasting, exotic food cocktails and cult cinema, amongst other activities, during the period.
Henderson Global Investors acquired N1 Islington in 2010 on behalf of Warburg-Henderson, its joint venture fund with M.W.Warburg & Co.
The 13,904 m2 centre is located to the north of Angel underground station, at the interchange between the A1 and A501 in the affluent London borough of Islington. N1 Islington’s accessibility and connectivity, combined with its status as a desirable residential district, provides the centre with an annual footfall of approximately 11 million.
Anchored by Vue Cinema and H&M, the scheme has a strong retailer line up which includes Gap, Next, French Connection and HMV.
Savills acted for Henderson Global Investors.
