Modus' Leasing Director, Nigel Poad, said: “Signing Debenhams is a massive vote of confidence in Regent Place, placing it in the prime retail circuit.”

With planning permission in place and work set to begin soon, the Regent Place development is on target for completion in 2011, bringing fantastic opportunities for people and businesses in Swindon.
