SITUATION
This site was home to Lewis’s Department Store until
the mid-1990’s when Haymarket Towers, extending to
some 90,000 sq ft (8,361 sq m), was built.

Haymarket Towers enjoys an extremely prominent
position, opposite the Haymarket Shopping Centre,
with retailing frontage directly on to Humberstone
Gate.

Humberstone Gate is the prime high street retailing
location in Leicester. The shop units provide an
occupier with modern, well-configured retail
space and double-height glass frontages on to the
pedestrianised Humberstone Gate.

Marks & Spencer occupy one of the most prominent
units in Haymarket Towers and own the other part of
their store Freehold. The whole store creates a link
through to Gallowtree Gate where M&S also have an
entrance.

The other tenants in the parade are Barclays Bank,
Superdrug, Select, New Look and DW Sports. DW
Sports have an entrance at ground floor, in between
M&S and Barclays, leading to a modern gymnasium
and sportswear store on the 1st floor.

Haymarket Towers is ideally situated close to retailers
such as Primark, H&M and Boots directly opposite,
who are all integrated as part of the Haymarket
Shopping Centre. Primark owner-occupy their store
and are a major attraction, as well as a strong,
complementary, anchor store at this end of the pitch.

Haymarket Towers also benefits from easily
accessible loading facilities, provided via the service
yard to the rear, which is within the Title boundary.

Haymarket Towers enjoys an
extremely prominent position,
with retailing frontage directly
on to Humberstone Gate
