Item 2. Properties
Home Offices. Since 2006, our North American home office has been located in several buildings on one campus in the historic core of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Navy Yard. The consolidated offices at the Navy Yard campus allow for an efficient operation of our Philadelphia-based offices and will help to support our growth needs for the foreseeable future. Our North American home offices are approximately 575,000 square feet, and we own or have options to purchase adjacent buildings that would allow for additional expansion if necessary.
Our European home office occupies approximately 70,000 square feet at the former Truman Brewery Site in London, England. The office houses all of our brand and shared leadership teams as well as a wholesale showroom and photo studio. The term of this lease is set to expire in July 2029, and we have the option to renew for up to an additional 10 years.
Distribution. We operate multiple distribution and fulfillment centers worldwide to support our Retail, Wholesale and Nuuly segments in the United States, Europe and Canada.
Our Retail segment distribution and fulfillment centers receive and distribute our retail store merchandise and fulfill catalog, website and mobile application orders around the world. The primarily Retail segment facilities that support our North America Retail segment operations are:
1,000,000 square foot omni-channel fulfillment center we own in Gap, Pennsylvania;
291,000 square foot distribution center we own in Gap, Pennsylvania;
956,000 square foot fulfillment center we own in Indiana, Pennsylvania;
880,000 square foot omni-channel fulfillment center we own in Kansas City, Kansas;
463,000 square foot fulfillment center we own in Reno, Nevada; and
214,500 square foot distribution center we lease in Reno, Nevada, which is set to expire in June 2027, and we have the option to renew for up to an additional twenty years.
To support North America Retail segment customer demand until the omni-channel fulfillment center in Kansas City, Kansas was operational, we leased a 401,000 square foot fulfillment center located in Kansas City, Missouri. The lease commenced in fiscal 2022 and expired in fiscal 2024.
Our European Retail segment operations are supported by a 400,000 square foot omni-channel fulfillment center we own in Peterborough, England. The facility became fully operational during fiscal 2022, at which point we exited our existing distribution and fulfillment centers in Rushden, England.
Our Wholesale segment operations are predominantly supported by our omni-channel fulfillment center in Gap, Pennsylvania, with the remainder supported by our omni-channel fulfillment center in Peterborough, England.
Nuuly Rent operations are primarily conducted from a 309,000 square foot fulfillment center we lease in Bristol, Pennsylvania, which is set to expire in July 2034 with options to renew for up to an additional ten years. In fiscal 2024 we entered into a lease for a 604,000 square foot fulfillment center located in Raymore, Missouri, which commenced operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The lease is set to expire in fiscal 2039 and includes options to renew for up to an additional ten years.
Improvements in recent years, as described in Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources, were necessary to adequately support our growth. We believe that our centers are well maintained and in good operating condition.
Retail Locations. All of our retail locations are leased, well maintained and in good operating condition. Our retail locations generally have initial lease terms of five to fifteen years with renewal options for an additional five to ten years. Total estimated selling square feet for locations open, under lease as of January 31, 2024, by Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People was approximately 2,263,000, 1,810,000, and 411,000, respectively. The average store selling square feet is approximately 9,000 for Urban Outfitters, 8,000 for Anthropologie and 2,000 for Free People (including 1,000 for FP Movement). Selling square feet can sometimes change due to factors such as floor moves, use of staircases and cash register configuration.
