POCHIN Developments and UK Land & Property have signed up the first restaurant operator to its Exchange Flags scheme, in Liverpool.
Sakura, the Japanese teppanyaki, noodle and sushi restaurant, which already has a restaurant in Preston, has taken 6,200 sq ft of accommodation on the ground floor in Walker House on a 15-year lease.
The restaurant is undergoing a £500,000 fit-out and, when complete, will offer external seating and decking overlooking Exchange Flags square.
Newsagents Exchange News has also signed up to 500 sq ft of retail accommodation on a 10-year lease.
Ian Sherry, development director at UK Land & Property, said: “We wanted to find an operator that shared our vision and delivered the quality to match the existing offer.”
