UK menswear designer Peter Werth has signed a short-term lease to open a pop-up shop in the Howey Place shopping arcade in the Melbourne CBD.

Howey Place is a short, narrow covered laneway, running south from Little Collins Street between Swanston Street and Elizabeth Street.

The 9 Howey Place tenancy comprises a 33-square-metre premises taken on a short-term lease.

The rental was not disclosed however recent deals along Howey place have been transacted around the $4,000 a square metre plus GST mark.

The deal was brokered by Savills Australia retail director, Michael Di Carlo, alongside colleague Jeremy Marmur.

Peter Werth currently has an in-store outlet at Myers, also in the CBD.

According to Di Carlo, Peter Werth wished to test the market with a pop-up store. 

"Pop-up stores have become very popular as a means of testing the market with a view to establishing a more permanent presence and we’re now seeing that concept defined by the length of the lease term as much as the style of tenancy,’’ Di Carlo said.
