The Platinum Mall, despite its positioning as the most salubrious part of the complex, also contains empty units. If anything, the problem of empty units at the Metrocentre seems more prominent due to their close proximity to one another. In Eldon Square, the problem does not seem as prevalent aside from the bitleading from Next towards Monument which is conveniently undergoing re-development. The area around Pilgram Street and Market Street East is in urgent need of a facelift, however much of that is owned by a couple property developers, eagerly awaiting a program of regeneration within that part of the city.
Yeah the Green Mall has a lot of empty shops too, and when BHS closes it will make it even worse. The Blue Mall has Wilko opening soon taking a massive unit (Chiquito, the old McDonalds, Spudulike and Tucci) so that will improve it a lot, as well as Primarks extension.
Platinum Mall was meant to have designer shops but it is quite disappointing. Noticed Carluccios is opening there soon. Though on the plus side Van Mildert is moving there soon I saw on their Facebook, and I'm guessing New Look Men are taking the Van Mildert store - http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/business/...t-11407530 . And also it was discussed on here about Flannels opening in Metrocentre so I'm guessing that will be the platinum mall too (possibly old USC?)
