Proposed lease of 2 North Port, Perth – a Common Good property

Overview

The shop at 2 North Port, Perth, shown coloured red on the plan below, is recognised as common good property owned by Perth and Kinross Council and held on the Perth Common Good Fund. The shop has been vacant since the expiry of the former tenant's lease on 28 February 2026. It was subsequently marketed for letting from 6 March 2026, with a closing date for offers set for 4 September 2026.

Following completion of the marketing process and assessment of the bids received, the Council proposes to grant a new lease of the Subjects to Check. Lifestyle Ltd, the preferred bidder, who intends to operate the premises as an independent fashion store. The proposed lease will be for a term of five years, commencing on a date to be agreed between the parties. The Subjects will be leased for retail use, with the tenant being responsible for the occupation and operation of the premises throughout the lease term in accordance with the lease conditions. Rental income generated under the lease will be receivable by the Perth Common Good Fund, thereby providing an ongoing revenue stream from the property while ensuring the continued occupation.
