Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre Success

One year after Westfield opened its doors, Ealing Broadway celebrates success with unprecedented footfall and lettings activity.

Legal & General Property, has announced that it has added New Look to the line up at Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre's. The recent deal completes a series of high profile retail lettings which has seen new high street fashion brands coming in on over a third of the retail space during the last 15 months.

In spite of Westfield completing its first year of trading (30 October) and announcing a record 23 million visitors through the doors, Ealing Broadway has seen continuing increases in footfall over the period, with a rise of approximately 20% overall since the beginning of 2008. Not only is footfall growing, but the scheme forecasts to have had an estimated 15.5 million visitors by the year end, for a scheme which is only one- fifth of the size of Westfield.

According to National Benchmark Data, these statistics illustrate the undoubted success of the scheme in delivering growth in a difficult market as well as disproving speculation that the Centre would suffer on the opening of Westfield. Ealing Broadway continues to dominate Ealing's shopping, with 96% of its local catchment using it.
