Tiffany & Co. to Shine in Canary Wharf

2010-02-23

Tiffany & Co. has announced it will open a new store in Canary Wharf in September 2010.

Tiffany is the world’s premier diamond jeweller with a 170-year heritage defined by groundbreaking designers and glamorous collections across the world. The Canary Wharf store will take its store count in London to nine, adding to its recent openings at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 3 and Westfield London.

The new store will be in the Cabot Place East retail mall and occupy approximately 2,000 square feet. A new lease for a period of ten years has been exchanged with Canary Wharf Group plc (CWG), the owners and developers of the Canary Wharf estate.

Camille Waxer, Vice President of Retail at CWG is looking forward to welcoming Tiffany to the famous business and shopping district: “Tiffany & Co is one of the world’s most luxurious design brands, making it a great fit with Canary Wharf.  I’m really pleased because we’ve been working closely with Tiffany & Co. for some time to find the optimum location to showcase their brand. Tiffany & Co. provides accessible luxury and is always on top of the latest consumer trends. It will prove hugely popular with our loyal customers and attract new shoppers from around London” she said.

CWG’s retail portfolio is now over 98% let. Two new retail precincts, Churchill Place and The Park Pavilion, opened in the second half of 2009, with new restaurants Jamie’s Italian, Canteen, the parlour, ROKA and Wahaca among the tenants.

Harper Dennis Hobbs acted on behalf of Tiffany & Co. and Canary Wharf were represented by Lunson Mitchenall and Knight Frank.
