A commercial property company aims to bring Christmas cheer to York’s high street by offering premises on short-term, flexible terms over the Festive period and beyond.

Colenso is offering independent businesses and start-ups has units available on Feasegate in the city centre, which it says has high footfall, especially over Christmas.

Ideal as festive pop-up space for independent retailers or as a test bed for start-ups, the units will be available from as little as £1,500 per calendar month

Potential lease lengths are flexible, from three months over Christmas or for up to 18 months if required. The units range in size from 500 sq ft to 3,500 sq ft.

The move follows Colenso’s recent arrival into York, where it reports a number of instructions across the city centre.

James Ratcliffe, Head of Commercial Agency at Colenso, said: “With circa 8 million annual visitors and £765m annual spend, the York high street is a highly sought after location for retailers. However, for independent businesses and start-ups, accessing opportunities in the city centre can be challenging and expensive.

“We hope this offer of reduced rents and flexible leases in a prime York location can help more independent businesses establish themselves in the city centre.”

Colenso is acting on behalf of the building’s owner. For more information or to discuss lettings, contact mail@colensoproperty.com.
