Deloitte handled the administration of the brands, from Topshop to Wallis, which were all sold off without any stores.<\/p>\n<p>The Oxford Street store was a prize asset and, for a while, it seemed that <strong>ASOS, which acquired the Topshop, Topman and Miss Selfridge brands, might seek to secure the lease<\/strong> to keep the store operating as a Topshop, though it made it clear it was not interested in buying the site.<\/p>\n<p>Those in the frame to purchase the site, according to<em> The Times<\/em>, include H&amp;M billionaire Stefan Persson\u2019s vehicle Ramsbury; Norwegian sovereign wealth fund Norges; Pontegadea, the property business of Zara founder Amancio Ortega; and Great Portland Estates.<\/p>\n<p>The site was <strong>valued at more than \u00a3500m two years ago<\/strong> and carries a hefty mortgage from US investor Apollo, who will be guaranteed more than \u00a3300m from the sale. The remainder of any funds raised will be ploughed into Arcadia's pension fund to help fill the deficit, which currently stands at \u00a3185m.<\/p>\n<p>\"Big Topshop\" as it was affectionately known was<strong> a trailblazer in experiential retail,<\/strong> opening in the 90s, and was one of the first fashion retailers to incorporate things like DJ booths and beauty services into a retail store.<\/p>\n<p>The 1923 listed site began life as a Peter Robinson department store before the Burton group bought it. Topshop, initially a spin-off of Peter Robinson, moved into the basement in 1965 (it was established as a standalone brand in 1974) and<strong> the three-floor site became the Topshop flagship in 1994.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arcadia was plunged into administration at the end of November, having failed to secure funds to see it through the Covid-19 crisis. While ASOS, snapped up its flagship brands, Boohoo acquired Burton, Dorothy Perkins and Wallis, while Australian firm City Chic Collective acquire Evans. No stores were saved as part of the deals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/subscribe-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-144088 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/wp-content\/uploads\/Daily-Newsletter-Banner.png\" alt=\"Newsletter banner\" width=\"1680\" height=\"268\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Topshop's Oxford Street flagship site is on the market for \u00a3420m as the dismantling of Sir Philip Green's Arcadia empire draws to a close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":143563,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,20823,10494],"tags":[11120,9954,10590,4000,10267,9665],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Topshop Oxford Street flagship site valued at \u00a3420m - TheIndustry.fashion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Topshop&#039;s Oxford Street flagship site is on the market for \u00a3420m as the dismantling of Sir Philip Green&#039;s Arcadia empire draws to a close.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/topshop-oxford-street-flagship-site-valued-at-420m\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Topshop Oxford Street flagship site valued at \u00a3420m - TheIndustry.fashion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Topshop&#039;s Oxford Street flagship site is on the market for \u00a3420m as the dismantling of Sir Philip Green&#039;s Arcadia empire draws to a close.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/topshop-oxford-street-flagship-site-valued-at-420m\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TheIndustry.fashion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theindustryfashion\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-05-04T08:52:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-09-13T12:27:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/13.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1280\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lauretta Roberts\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@theindustryfash\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@theindustryfash\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Lauretta Roberts\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/topshop-oxford-street-flagship-site-valued-at-420m\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/topshop-oxford-street-flagship-site-valued-at-420m\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Lauretta Roberts\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/#\/schema\/person\/85b04a16eba8c6cd7a9534c5a4262b89\"},\"headline\":\"Topshop Oxford Street flagship site valued at \u00a3420m\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-05-04T08:52:22+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-09-13T12:27:55+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/topshop-oxford-street-flagship-site-valued-at-420m\/\"},\"wordCount\":394,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"Arcadia\",\"Deloitte\",\"KPMG\",\"Oxford Street\",\"Sir Philip Green\",\"Topshop\"],\"articleSection\":{\"2\":\"News &amp;
