The start of the new Friarsgate scheme has been delayed, but this is not suprising given the scheme's size and the current economic climate. Nevertheless, interest from retailers is still high and, we are hopeful that when the market settles, it is likely to be one of the first retail schemes to proceed.

Director of Developments at S Harrrison, recently commented: "We remain totally committed to the scheme and are working to ensure that Friarsgate is in a good position to proceed as soon as market conditions improve. We're pleased that Friarsgate continues to attract strong occupier interest."
