00:00Yeah, there's been really strong take-up so far. It's different sizes, different uses.
00:07We benefit from a versatile E-class, so we can offer different sorts of spaces.
00:13We have got interest from some people who are looking at the whole thing,
00:16and then as many as six or seven different occupiers for smaller splits.
00:20They might be leisure, they may be retailers, office, medical restaurant.
00:24There's all sorts of different things. We've been really impressed with the take-up
00:27that us and Savills have had so far.
00:29Former arcade entrance off Midgate, which has been out of use for quite some time.
00:35I think the owners have spotted that as a potential way to introduce a more vitality footfall
00:42from the Midgate entrance. It could allow the building to configure into more smaller units.
00:47I think it would be a really nice, attractive way to enter the space.
00:52A very small number of vacant units in the city centre.
00:56Heriwood is a place where we know there is demand for retail units,
01:00and it's difficult to find the right units. I think we can create the right space.
01:04It will make this part very exciting.
01:06We've got 330 flats nearing completion this year on our doorstep.
01:10It would be lovely for those people to have amenity and something thriving.
01:13I do think it's an important part of the centre of town that needs attention
01:18and could really be exciting.
