Dotty Bridal navigates expansion with Wakefield Waterfront move

Dotty Bridal has secured a five-year lease at Navigation Warehouse on Wakefield’s Waterfront, marking a major milestone in the brand’s expansion.

The deal, facilitated by City & Provincial Properties and Fox Lloyd Jones, provides the bridal boutique with a self-contained 16,623 sq ft space, setting the stage for its next phase of growth.

After years of success in Holmfirth, Dotty Bridal has outgrown its original boutique and is relocating to Navigation Warehouse to accommodate increasing demand.

Neighbouring the Tileyard North development, Navigation Warehouse sits in the creative hub on Wakefield’s Waterfront. Tileyard North is set to become the largest creative community outside London, offering state-of-the-art recording studios, content spaces, offices, and event venues.

Shannon Martin of Dotty Bridal said: “I’m absolutely thrilled for Dotty Bridal to be joining the incredible Waterfront community within the stunning Navigation Warehouse building. We’ve spent the last two years searching for the perfect new home for Dotty and the moment I walked into this space, I knew it was the one.

“It’s full of character, energy, and the kind of atmosphere that makes magic happen. We’re so excited to bring our Dotty touch to this iconic building and proud to now be the biggest bridal boutique in the UK. This is a huge moment for us, and we can’t wait to welcome our brides into something truly special.”

Harry Finney, associate director at Fox Lloyd Jones, said: “Securing Navigation Warehouse for Dotty Bridal represents an exciting chapter not only for the brand, but for Wakefield’s Waterfront as a whole.

“The listed building offers the perfect canvas for Dotty Bridal to accommodate growing demand and expand their services. We’re proud to have facilitated a deal that will underpin their ambition to become the UK’s leading bridal boutique, while also contributing to the ongoing regeneration of the Waterfront.”

Louisa Brooks of City & Provincial Properties said: “With the expansion at Navigation Warehouse, Dotty Bridal is not only transforming its own brand but also contributing to the growth and vibrancy of Wakefield Waterfront’s creative and retail community.”

Fox Lloyd Jones and CBRE are the joint letting agents for Navigation Warehouse.
