“The Burlington Arcade is a historical and architectural masterpiece, and one of the most renowned retail destinations in the world,” Thor Equities chief executive Joseph Sitt commented at the time.
“With its magnificent redesign and new luxury tenants, the property will remain a treasured London destination for generations to come.”
