Orchard Street Investment Management has signed a c.21,000ft² letting with leisure and entertainment specialist Roxy Ball Room at The Cornerhouse, Nottingham’s 200,000ft² premier leisure destination. The company has agreed to a twenty-year lease across the basement floor of the property, which will be home to Roxy’s second site in Nottingham, and its largest nationwide. The venue, which opens its doors to the public on 11 June, will offer a range of leisure and gaming facilities, including tenpin and duckpin bowling, ping pong, shuffleboard, ice curling and a selection of karaoke rooms, in addition to a number of traditional arcade games.
The Cornerhouse is the only purpose-built leisure scheme in Nottingham; anchored by a 14-screen Cineworld, it offers 13 restaurants/bars, a nightclub, indoor adventure golf and a casino. Key food and beverage tenants include Nando’s, Wagamama and TGI Fridays, while Roxy will enhance the existing nightlife offerings provided by Revolution, Slug and Lettuce and Genting Casinos, amongst others.
Strategically located in Nottingham’s city centre, the asset benefits from nearby universities, shopping facilities at Victoria Centre and local theatres, attracted by The Cornerhouse’s offering which provides both day and nighttime leisure activities.
Fergus Egan, Partner at Orchard Street, commented: “The selection of The Cornerhouse as the location for Roxy Ball Room’s largest UK outlet is testament to the asset’s strong leisure proposition and central location, and Roxy’s exciting range of activities will further enhance its impressive offering. With lockdown restrictions easing and consumer confidence returning, we are seeing an increasing number of visitors return to The Cornerhouse, highlighting not only the enduring appeal of its vibrant tenant mix and diverse offerings, but also underlining how humans are inherently social creatures who thrive by doing things together.”
Matt Jones, Chief Executive Officer at Roxy, added: “After the success and warm reception to our first site in Nottingham we decided to open a second one here. We love this city and its amazing community and nightlife, and with The Cornerhouse being Nottingham’s number one leisure and entertainment destination, we think Roxy Ball Room will fit in perfectly here.”
