Savills has recently been appointed by Henderson Global Investors on behalf of owners, The Fort Retail Park Trust, to provide management advice and services at The Fort Shopping Park in Birmingham. 

This new instruction will sit alongside the other properties managed by Savills for Henderson Global Investors within the Henderson UK Retail Warehouse Fund. The Fort features 40 stores including Topshop, M&S, River Island, Next, Boots and Mothercare set across 332,480 sq ft (30,887 sq m) of retail and leisure space.
