Our role in supporting Canadian childrenswear brand with their UK expansion
Lease Disposal Management
In 2021, Hatley, the bespoke Canadian children’s clothing brand, appointed CURACE to manage the disposal of one of their existing leases. Utilising our expertise in disposal management, we marketed the property to potential tenants within the sector, carefully curating interest. We coordinated feedback, managed site viewings, and negotiated with interested parties. Our efforts led to securing a new lease with EverySkin, ensuring a smooth transition through a simultaneous lease surrender and grant agreement.
Location Analysis and Strategic Consultancy
To support Hatley’s expansion goals, CURACE provided comprehensive location analysis for sites in Marlow, Cobham and Windsor. We conducted thorough assessments evaluating each site for its suitability based on retail pitch, layout, and repurposing potential. Our in-depth reporting allowed Hatley to make informed decisions on optimal locations that aligned with their brand and operational needs.
Acquisition of Key Retail Space
CURACE acted as Hatley’s real estate consultant in securing new lease at Gunwharf Quays. We successfully negotiated favourable terms for a year-long pop-up store, balancing Hatley’s requirements with the landlord objectives. Our approach included overseeing legal formalities and managing ongoing negotiations, ensuring the lease met Hatley’s financial and commercial targets.
Ongoing UK Expansion
Our relationship with Hatley continues as we work together to identify and secure new sites for their UK expansion. From location analysis to acquisition, we work closely with their team and provide strategic property consultancy to support their long-term growth. With each new location we are proud to support Hatley strengthen their presence in the UK, while maintaining their brand values.
