105–111 High Street presents a rare opportunity for a large-format retailer or department store concept to establish a flagship presence in one of Surrey’s strongest retail destinations. The building sits within the prime pedestrianised High Street and benefits from a substantial frontage. The opportunity is particularly suited to a modern MSU model: a compelling ground-floor presence, flexible upper- level trading, customer experience zones, concessions, food and beverage, services and click-and-collect can be combined within a single destination. The building’s scale presents a rare opportunity, providing the potential for a flagship large destination in a prime location while the ability to consider a subdivision creates flexibility for complementary uses or a curated multi-brand format.

Alongside the major retail opportunity, the building can support a vibrant mixed-use offer, with circa 23,000 sq ft envisaged for a complementary mix of office and leisure uses. A well-connected, amenity-rich workspace in the heart of Guildford, offering a distinctive alternative to out-of-town business parks. The upper floors provide efficient floorplates and character, with the town's retail and hospitality offer on the doorstep. Experiential leisure will broaden the customer base and increase dwell time. The space could suit wellness, fitness, competitive socialising or other high-quality destination uses, subject to planning and operator requirements.
