Loudoun Retail Park is being comprehensively redeveloped to provide a modern roadside retail destination. The scheme features confirmed national occupiers, with Farmfoods, Greggs and E.ON Drive (8 ultra-rapid chargers) all in contract and opening in early November 2025. Prominent signage for each occupier will be installed, ensuring high visibility to passing traffic.
All construction and fit-out works will be completed by November 2025, at which point the retail park will be fully open to the public.
The only space remaining comprises c.3,000 SQ.FT. of prime retail accommodation (capable of subdivision into two units), with 7m eaves height in parts. These roadside units are directly connected to Tesco by a newly created walkway, further enhancing accessibility and integration between the two sites. In addition, there is a c.2,500 SQ.FT. self-contained premium office space on the first floor with its own dedicated entrance.
A large service yard and over 100 dedicated car parking spaces support the scheme. All premises benefit from fibre connectivity, with up to 180 kVA of three-phase power available to the remaining retail space.
