Related Argent

Property developer Related Argent has secured more than 19,500 square feet of retail leases across its build-to-rent portfolio, according to a report by CoStar. The deal indicates continued retailer demand for space in mixed-use rental developments, with the company adding commercial tenants alongside its residential lettings. Build-to-rent schemes have increasingly blended ground-floor retail with rental housing, and leasing activity of this scale is being watched as a signal of health in the UK commercial property market.
