I found the following on Savills website dated May 2017:Reef Estates Limited and ARC, represented by international real estate advisor Savills, have pre-let space at The Oaks Shopping Centre in Acton to Wilko, Lidl and M&S Simply Food.Reef Estates Limited and ARC, represented by international real estate advisor Savills, have pre-let space at The Oaks Shopping Centre in Acton to Wilko, Lidl and M&S Simply Food. The centre is currently undergoing a £135 million redevelopment, due for completion in 2019, which includes the creation of 11 new retail units, a gym and 178 residential apartments. The pre-lets will see the three retailers anchor the redeveloped scheme, with Wilko agreeing a 15-year lease for a 12,733 sq ft ft (1,183 sq m) store while Lidl has taken a 15,264 sq ft (1,418 sq m) unit on a 20-year lease. M&S Simply Food has signed up for a 15-year lease on a 11,322 sq ft (1,052 sq m) store.And this on BRM Solicitors dated September 2018BRM Solicitors have acted in a £110m mixed-use shopping centre and 174 residential unit development built in Acton, London.Acton town centre is currently undergoing a wholescale regeneration, with the development due for completion in 2019 including the creation of 11 new retail units, a gym and 174 residential apartments.BRM having previously secured retail pre-lets with M&S Simply Food, Wilko, Iceland, The Gym Limited and Lidl and the 2016 £69.5m residential development sale to a charitable housing association, this month completed the £41.5m retail shopping centre sale.BRM advised land owner and developer over the course of site preparation, redevelopment, marketing, funding and sale.So, M&S have signed up for a 15 year lease, which they must have decided not to take up.Don't continually blame Rupa Huq - she has obviously been told the same information as I found on the internet.
