History

Touchwood is a shopping centre in Solihull, West Midlands, United Kingdom. Its stated vision was to create an environment that extended the retail, commercial and leisure offer of Solihull while integrating into the existing fabric of the town centre. Located just nine miles east of Birmingham, Solihull had established itself as an attractive metropolitan borough with its own unique character; Touchwood's goal was to build a centre that would complement the architectural and landscape qualities of Solihull while delivering the finest retail offer in a secure and welcoming environment. Touchwood's charter was to enhance the architectural and landscape qualities of Solihull, incorporating itself into what was already an expanding regional shopping destination. Opened in September 2001, Touchwood has become one of the UK's most exciting shopping and entertaining destinations. The centre has improved the neighbouring facilities with elegant malls, a stylish retail offer and civic gardens providing green spaces for the community. Touchwood benefits from natural light throughout the centre, and each arcade has been developed with its own personality and ambience to enhance the shopping experience. The centre is committed to providing Solihull and the wider region with an attractive and vibrant range of stores, and is home to John Lewis, Apple and other attractive brands including Paperchase, Joules and Swarovski.
