The Communication Group plc has been appointed to handle the public relations for Scoop, the operating partner to a number of real estate Funds and private property companies. As a leading real estate asset and development manager, Scoop’s core focus is the rejuvenation and repositioning of major retail assets.
One of Scoop’s most recent projects includes the Thistles Shopping Centre in Stirling, which was acquired in December 2020. The Thistles entirely dominates Stirling city centre, providing over 500,000 sq ft of retail space over a single level, with several major anchor tenants including: M&S, Primark, Boots, Next, River Island and JD Sports.
Asset management initiatives will include the reconfiguration/redevelopment of the former Debenhams store as part of the repositioning of the Centre, the delivery of various key lettings and the relocation/upsizing of existing retailers in addition to the introduction of increased catering options. Scoop is consulting with the city’s key stakeholders to identify Stirling’s main priorities and needs, and to establish how the shopping centre can best cater for the local community’s evolving requirements.
The Communication Group has secured highlight coverage for this project on React News, Property Week and the Scottish Daily Record to name a few.
