Innes England has 'worked out' the perfect letting to national
gym chain Gym4all at The Glasshouse on Huntingdon Street in
Nottingham city centre.
The Midlands leading property agent has let two units to the gym
chain, consisting 5,499 sq ft at ground floor level and 10,000 sq
ft at lower ground floor to create the 16,399 sq ft gym.
The entrance opens out on to Huntingdon Street and members will
also have access to secure parking in the 250 space Metro Car Park
to the rear of the building.
Gym4all, which opened for business on 4 January, will join
retail giant ALDI in The Glasshouse leaving one retail unit
remaining of 13,500 sq ft. There is also additional space on the
first floor which can be incorporated to create up to 30,000 sq ft
in total.
Matthew Hannah head of retail and roadside at Innes England
says: "The Glasshouse is the ideal location for Gym4all. Its
central location coupled with the fact it has secure parking, means
that it provides easy access to members living and working in the
city centre."
Gym4all is a budget gym offering value for money membership. The
company also has gyms in Croydon and Bradford and is looking to
open in various cities across the country.
Erik Van Meeteren, owner of Gym4All, says: "We selected
Nottingham as a location because it's a large city and the fact it
has a high number of students, one of our target audiences. The
Glasshouse is centrally located and it is easily accessible on a
busy road. There is also secure parking. As well as students, we
hope to attract professionals who work in the city centre and can
only squeeze half-an-hour here and there before or after work. We
feel that The Glasshouse is the ideal location for us."
Innes England acted for JSR Properties. Charles Fish of JSR
said: "We welcome Gym4all at a time when the student accommodation
at The Glasshouse also has new operators. Already Gym4all is
signing up many students at their exclusive introductory rates and
Metro Car Parks has offered free car parking from 6pm - 11pm for
six months to welcome our new tenant."
Gym4all was represented by Savills.
