The leading UK retail and leisure real estate agency, Lunson Mitchenall, has successfully secured a new 3,450 sq ft lease for Nando’s within Get Living’s One Maidenhead development.
The new Nando’s restaurant, set to open in Spring 2025, marks the brand’s first Maidenhead location and aligns with its ongoing strategy of targeting quality mixed-use developments. The deal, secured on a 15-year lease, is part of Lunson Mitchenall’s broader mandate to identify and secure prime retail and leisure sites for this major household name across the UK.
One Maidenhead, Get Living’s first development outside a major city, represents a significant regeneration project for the town centre. Alongside 429 residential rental units, the scheme provides 22,000 sq ft of commercial, retail, and leisure space. With its proximity to Maidenhead Station on the Elizabeth Line and the Odeon cinema complex, the development is set to become a vibrant hub for shopping and entertainment.
