Property Description
Brayford Wharf North – Prime Restaurant/Leisure Units in Lincoln – From 2,676 to 3,698 sq ft – Price on ApplicationBrayford Wharf North, LN1 1YW, presents an exciting leisure-led opportunity within a high-profile mixed-use development overlooking Lincoln’s celebrated Brayford Pool. The scheme, totalling approximately 87,026 sq ft and owned by DTZ Investors, includes an Odeon 9-screen cinema and a curated selection of bars and restaurants, strategically positioned between Lincoln High Street and the University of Lincoln campus.
Brayford Wharf North benefits from an exceptional footfall profile driven by university students, city centre retail visitors, local residents, and hotel guests from the adjacent DoubleTree by Hilton. The waterfront location and attractive aesthetic contribute to the scheme’s contemporary appeal. Leasing opportunity exists in two ground-floor leisure/restaurant units: Unit 1 extends to 3,298 sq ft and Unit 2 spans 2,676 sq ft, both with full-height glazing sweeping along the southern frontage of Brayford Pool offering panoramic views and high visibility.
These units are offered to let on flexible terms with immediate occupation available. The leisure orientation, scale and waterfront location make them particularly suitable for full-service restaurants, bar operators, or food-led destination concepts seeking a Lincoln city centre address. Nearby occupiers in the multi-let investment building known as “The Glassmill” include Nando’s, Prezzo and Five Guys, underscoring the area’s strong casual dining and leisure profile.
Lincoln is an attractive cathedral city and principal retail and administrative centre of Lincolnshire, with a catchment of approximately 545,000 people and total annual retail spend nearing £985 million. The University of Lincoln, with over 14,000 students and staff, adds further captive demand, contributing an estimated £250 million in economic activity. Brayford Pool itself is a major leisure and tourism asset, located within the city’s top-ranked centre for the East Midlands in Experian’s retail index.
