Nike joins Battersea Power Station retail development
Battersea Power Station today announced that Nike will open a new store inside the Grade II listed Power Station, opening 14 October 2022.
The store will focus on serving consumers in the Battersea neighbourhood, and will span approximately 8,380 sq ft.
Nike is the latest retailer to join the exciting mix of British and international brands set to open at Battersea Power Station and on Electric Boulevard, a new pedestrianised high street for London, which will also open from 14th October.
Inside the Turbine Halls, shoppers will find an array of British and international brands, with the first wave opening in October including the likes of Hugo Boss, Theory, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, Aesop, Space NK, Ace + Tate, Lululemon, Mulberry, Jo Malone London, Uniqlo and Mango.
Other brands expected to open at the destination include Castore, Abercrombie & Fitch, Levi’s, Hackett, Superdry, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and L’Occitane.
The new high street will offer a mix of bars and restaurants, office space, shops, a park, community hub and a new 164 room hotel. Retailers already announced to be opening on Electric Boulevard later this year include Zara and a new-concept M&S Foodhall.
Sam Cotton, Head of Leasing at Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC), said: “Nike is a brand that always strives to offer a unique customer experience and to create a sense of community through its different store concepts, making it the perfect fit for Battersea Power Station. From the very beginning community has been at the heart of everything we do and will continue once we open the Power Station’s doors from 14th October, offering a one-of-a-kind retail and leisure experience housed in the Power Station’s historic Turbine Halls for all to enjoy.”
Battersea Power Station will be the centrepiece of a new ‘15-minute’ live, work and play neighbourhood, which will act as a new hub for the local and wider communities, a new business quarter for the capital and a retail and leisure destination for Londoners and international visitors.
Once open, the Power Station will be home to 254 residential apartments, over 100 retail shops, restaurants and cafés, including a 24,000 sq ft Arcade Food Hall from JKS Restaurants, plus Lift 109, a unique glass elevator elevator which transports visitors 109m to the top of the building’s north west chimney.
With the Northern Line extended to give this new riverside neighbourhood its very own Zone 1 London Underground station, Battersea Power Station is now within 15 minutes of the West End and the City and is expected to draw visitors from across the capital and the globe, becoming one of London’s most visited destinations, boosting the local economy and creating over 17,000 jobs.
