Halogen appointed on £50M Kingsgate

Halogen has been appointed to provide strategic communication advice and support on the £50m Kingsgate shopping centre in Dunfermline for Irish owner-developers MIVAN.

Work on a significant extension to the existing shopping centre is already well advanced, with the project due to open in Summer 2008. The extended Kingsgate will be anchored by Debenhams, add over 700 car parking spaces, a new bus station, and double the existing retail offer to 370,000 sq ft

Halogen Account Manager Bola Sodeinde commented "We have developed a well-structured leasing-focused campaign to maximise awareness between now and Kingsgate's main opening next year. We've specifically used our experience of the property industry calendar to craft a programme focussed around special dates, such as for the BCSC Conference & Showcase and retailer events

Halogen's initiatives will support the work of joint agents Eric Young & Co and Cushman & Wakefield Healey & Baker, under the direction of Whyte Development Management
