The Concept


"Boxpark is a fresh retail revolution from Roger Wade, creator of Boxfresh and fashion brand consultancy brands incorporated, in partnership with Real Estate developers Hammerson And Ballymore.


Boxpark strips and refits shipping containers to create unique, low cost, low risk, ‘Box shops’. Put them together with a unique mia of international fashion, arts And lifestyle brands, galleries and cafés and you’ve got the world’s first ‘pop-up’ mall – so named because its basic building blocks are inherently movable: they can, and will, literally pop up anywhere in the World!
Boxpark is radical stuff. It’s not some run-of-the-mall shopping centre. It's a living, fertile community of brands packed with talent, innovation and attitude that puts creativity and fashion back where they belong: on the street.


Boxpark isn’t just where you shop. it’s an inspiring And enjoyable place to drop in and hang out. It’s what a real brand experience should be all about."
