An exciting new 300,000 sq ft Retail & Leisure development anchored by a 120,000 sq ft John Lews Department store.
Bond Street is located at the heart of the city centre, and is positioned to link directly into the existing prime retailing pitch on the High Street. It also benefits from its proximity to a number of supplementary car parks, which provide in excess of 2,500 car parking spaces.The development will provide Chelmsford with a vibrant new shopping environment that will cater for the needs of its thriving, affluent catchment. The combination of this open air shopping environment, riverside restaurants, cinema and public space will ensure that Bond Street complements the heritage of Chelmsford, whilst creating a fresh and contemporary retail offer that attracts aspirational brands currently under-represented in the city.
