UNITY REAL ESTATE SECURES UPSIZE OF GAIL’S FIRST-EVER BAKERY IN HAMPSTEAD

April 3, 2025

Unity Real Estate, advised by GCW, has secured a new 15-year lease with Gail’s at 64 Hampstead High Street, north London with the bakery also expanding into the adjacent unit at 64A High Street. The upsize adds 1,100 sq ft, bringing the total accommodation to 1,565 sq ft.

Gail’s opened its first bakery at this location in 2005, making it a key site for the brand. The expansion will significantly enhance internal and external seating, improve the overall customer experience, and meet long-standing demand from local customers.

Stuart Key, Director of Real Estate at Unity Real Estate, stated: “At Unity, we pride ourselves on being a partner to our customers – giving them the opportunity to thrive within our London portfolio of office, retail and residential assets.  Gail’s is a shining example of London commercial success.  Their journey all started from a humble corner unit on our retail parade in Hampstead.  Unity is delighted to be part of the Gail’s story and are thrilled we can retain and expand them long term in their original home.”

GCW advised the landlord while Forty Group represented the tenant.
