Savills Bolsters Presence in Central London with Nash Bond Acquisition

Savills UK has solidified its standing in the dynamic realm of retail real estate with the acquisition of Nash Bond Ltd, a premier retail agency and lease consultancy based in Central London. This strategic move aligns with Savills’ vision to fortify its position in the resurgent retail market.

The recent successful negotiations for prime spaces on Oxford Street with brands like Uniqlo and Footasylum, as well as the securing of Gucci on Bond Street for Derwent London, Norges, and Trophaeum, underscore the optimistic trajectory of the retail sector. The acquisition not only amplifies Savills’ existing Central London retail business, but it also extends its global retail offerings.

Established in 2003 by Managing Directors Mark Nash and Andrew Bond, Nash Bond has emerged as a market leader in retail, F&B, and leisure sectors, serving major London Estates and collaborating with esteemed developers and Reits. Savills’ CEO, James Sparrow, expresses enthusiasm about the acquisition, noting the significant rebound in Central London retail markets. Cameron Scott, CEO of Nash Bond, echoes the sentiment, emphasizing the exciting prospect of synergies between the two entities to deliver unparalleled services across the London market. This strategic alignment is poised to bring a new era of growth and opportunities for both Savills and Nash Bond.
