Two substantial Class E retail units sit directly opposite West Croydon transport interchanges, providing exceptional pedestrian exposure and convenience. Tower A (4,823 sq ft) and Tower B (2,550 sq ft) are part of a modern mixed-use development due to be available from Q3 2024, creating blank‑canvas spaces for multiple retail, leisure or service-based operators. The prominent glazed frontage and high ceilings at street level support strong visual presence and flexible layout options.
This location benefits from immediate access to tram, train and bus connections to Central London, supporting commuter footfall and frequent passing trade. The surrounding town centre amenities — supermarkets, food outlets, banking and convenience shops — create a busy daytime trade environment and make the sites suitable for convenience retail, quick-service food, or community services.
There are important risks to consider: the wider area is classified as deprived and local crime levels are above average, which may affect security costs and insurer terms. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, potentially limiting tech-dependent operators without investment in dedicated connectivity. Tenure is unknown and will require early clarification during due diligence. Fit-out will be needed to convert the raw commercial shells into trading units, adding capex prior to income generation.
For investors targeting high-footfall urban retail, these two units offer scale and visibility at the transport gateway to West Croydon. The combination of large footprints and flexible Class E use creates multiple leasing or owner-occupier scenarios, but factor in area socio-economic challenges, connectivity limitations and any tenure constraints when modelling returns.
