Capezio London Store

Relocation of Flagship Retail Store.

Project Overview

We recently relocated the Capezio London retail store to a more vibrant and accessible location to better serve our customers. The new space has been thoughtfully redesigned to reflect Capezio’s rich heritage while embracing a modern, dancer-friendly aesthetic. Improved layout and fixtures enhance product visibility and create a more immersive shopping experience. This move marks an exciting step forward in strengthening our brand presence in the UK market.

Scope of Work

Planning & Permitting

  • We confirmed that 37 Endell Street was zoned for retail and suitable for a dancewear business.
  • A local planning consultant was engaged to assist with permissions, as the building was located in a conservation area.
  • We submitted and obtained planning permission, including Change of Use where required.
  • Consent for external signage and shopfront alterations was secured.
  • All interior works were approved through Building Control to ensure compliance with UK building regulations.

Lease & Legal Agreements

  • We successfully negotiated and signed the lease for 37 Endell Street.
  • Structural and compliance surveys were completed, including asbestos and accessibility assessments.
  • All legal obligations, including fire safety and Equality Act compliance, were reviewed and addressed.

Design & Store Planning

  • A retail architect was appointed to develop a new store layout focused on foot traffic, fitting rooms, and product presentation.
  • We created a mood board and selected materials that aligned with Capezio’s brand identity.
  • The final design plan was approved by the wider Capezio team.
  • All branding, fixtures, and finishes were aligned with the global aesthetic.

Shopfitter & Contractor Selection

  • We issued a request for proposals to several experienced shopfitters.
  • After evaluating costs, timelines, and prior work, we selected our preferred contractor.
  • The shopfitting agreement was signed, and timelines were coordinated with the design team.

Fit-Out & Build

  • The shopfitter executed the build-out according to the approved plans.
  • Regular site inspections and snagging walkthroughs ensured quality and compliance.
  • Lighting, flooring, mirrors, displays, and branded elements were installed.
  • IT systems, point-of-sale, and security infrastructure were fully set up.

Final Checks & Launch
