Colliers | The Collection, London’s latest luxury retail destination, launches in Knightsbridge

Colliers, alongside Knight Frank, has launched The Collection at Knightsbridge Gate, a landmark retail destination and the perfect home for luxury brands.

The building, which provides one of London’s longest unbroken retail parades, is a brand new modern mixed-use scheme, behind a Grade II listed façade, comprising high quality retail, office and residential accommodation.

The Collection contains up to 12 individual retail units, which can be flexibly combined, to deliver a diverse range of units totalling approximately 24,000 sq ft across ground and basement floors.

Paul Souber, head of Central London Retail at Colliers, comments: “The Collection represents a rare opportunity for retailers to access the prestigious shopping destination of Knightsbridge, close to iconic brands such as Burberry, Tom Ford and Harrods. The flexibility the development provides will appeal to a varied mixture of operators from high-end boutiques to international flagships and we look forward to working with brands to create a unique home in the heart of London’s luxury district.”
