M&G Real Estate has appointed Savills and Colliers as joint leasing agents for Ayr Central, the principal shopping destination in the popular West of Scotland town.

The centre, one of the most modern in Scotland, extends to 178,000 sq ft and includes tenants such as JD, Primark, River Island, Next, H&M, New Look and Costa. It was refurbished in 2014, refreshing the development with a new high-level, contemporary glazed roof.

Ayr Central has a catchment area of 378,000, which includes 8,500 students from the nearby University of the West of Scotland and Ayr College, as well a strong tourism visitor market due to its coastal location.

John Menzies, director in the retail team at Savills in Glasgow, said:  “Ayr Central is an established focal point in the town and offers a modern, convenient shopping and dining experience, with ample parking and good access to public transport links. Although we are 100% occupied at present, there are opportunities to refresh the tenant mix and introduce new brands interested in locating in one of the largest and most vibrant towns in Scotland.” 

Ayr is an affluent commuter town located 35 miles to the west of Glasgow. The centre is conveniently located between Ayr Train Station, which is one of Scotland’s busiest stations, and Ayr High Street. The shopping centre also benefits from 481 parking spaces in its integrated underground car park.
