The Terraces Information for Potential Licensee

Cobden Chambers is a new, exciting development in Nottinghams Creative Quarter, designed to promote, encourage and support the very best in contemporary craft and design in Nottingham, the East Midlands and beyond. Comprised around a large, central sun-trap of a courtyard, the Chambers is made up of The Terraces, Cobden Place, and the Bodega. The Terraces is a beautiful Victorian building, housing up to nine individual units, each of which can be used for retail space, as workshops, as studios, or a combination of all three. These units will be home, exclusively, to small businesses who design and make their own products; from fashion designers to jewellers; from fine artists to crafters, and anything a bit quirky and leftof-field; the unifying element being their strong sense of design and passion for quality. It is to become one of only a few place in the United Kingdom open to the public, where designers can produce and sell their work on the premises. Visitors to The Terraces will have the opportunity to buy direct from the designer, and even see the products being created. The Terraces will be a real destination shopping experience, with something to excite the senses around every corner and something new to see with every visit. The Courtyard will play host to pop-up street food vendors, markets and street art, drawing visitors into the Chambers and creating a dynamic, vibrant atmosphere. There will be seating to enable local workers to take their lunch breaks in this little oasis in the centre of the city, encouraging greater footfall and awareness of the space. We are currently seeking applications from high quality designers and artists, ready for our grand opening in the New Year. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a truly unique offering for Nottingham. For more information, or to arrange a viewing, contact Fay Wilkinson on 01159 413 366 Or email fay@bildurn.co.uk

Why take a unit at The Terraces?


Being one of the first small businesses to sign up to rent a unit at The Terraces may seem like quite a scary prospect, but it neednt be. We appreciate that this may well be a Tenants first move on to the high street, and we are keen to ensure that it is as stress-free as possible. The success of The Terraces lies with the success of the tenants, so we want you to concentrate on flourishing, not freaking! We dont ask you to immediately sign your life away to a lengthy contract, with legal fees, service charges and extra costs hidden behind a seemingly cheap rent. We use short form leases, written in plain English, making life simple for us and for the tenants. We operate a three monthly rolling lease, but are happy to negotiate longer term contracts if this is something a tenant wishes. We have a unique offering of a combined workspace and retail studio, enabling tenants to operate their entire business from one space. We are happy to rent out units together if a tenant requires more than one, so one could be used for workspace, and one for retail, for example. We offer very competitive rates from around 300 - 600 per month per unit (ex VAT). Rent includes everything (wifi, service charge, utilities), except public liability insurance. Units range from approx. 170 500 sq feet. The building is beautiful, with lots of character, and we encourage tenants to make their space their own.
