The site today

Cambridge Retail Park plays an important role in the city’s retail offering, attracting visitors from across the city and beyond.

HIGH LEVEL CONSTRAINTS

We are focused on ensuring it remains a key destination for shopping, dining and everyday essentials – adapting to the needs of a changing retail landscape.

As an operational site with existing leases and valued for its accessibility, enhancing Cambridge Retail Park presents challenges, including:

  • Coordinating with existing tenants and lease agreements.
  • Car-dominated environment, poor pedestrian and cycle connections, low-quality landscaping.
  • Tenant leases requiring minimum parking spaces and some surface level parking.
  • Proximity to residential areas.
  • Vacant units and limited variety affecting visitor experience.
  • Buildings which don’t contribute much to the urban environment and have limited sustainability credentials.
