Sorbon Estates is excited to announce the completion of their final retail letting at the former Wilko and Poundland building (88–90 High Street), marking a major milestone in the transformation of the town centre site. Following the closure of Poundland, the property has undergone significant redevelopment. The building has been reconfigured to create three separate retail units, while part of the upper floors has been converted into six high‑quality residential apartments, known as The Lofts.
The fully occupied retail line-up introduces a mix of established and new brands to Maidenhead town centre. Card Factory has relocated from the Nicholson Centre to occupy one of the newly refurbished units. They will soon be joined by IRO Sushi, bringing a new dining option to the heart of the town, and Ginco, a specialist wholesale food retailer offering fresh nuts, lentils, spices, and more, which will open in the newly created West Street unit at the rear of the building.
We believe the completed lettings will bring a major town-centre building back into full use, supporting increased footfall and attracting new visitors to the town.
Guy Thomas, Asset and Property Manager at Sorbon Estates, said:
‘The transformation of this building demonstrates our continued investment in Maidenhead town centre and our commitment to creating spaces that attract a vibrant mix of occupiers. By reimagining this property, we’ve been able to bring new retailers to the town while also delivering high‑quality residential accommodation. We’re delighted to welcome IRO Sushi and Ginco to the town and see Card Factory settling into their new home.’
Sorbon Estates can’t wait to see the positive impact these new retailers will have on Maidenhead’s evolving town centre.
