Aquila Shoes has secured retail space on Little Collins Street, Melbourne, which will be its 27th Australian store.

It has leased a 150-square -metre store for a six-year term. The lease was negotiated by Savills Australia  state retail director Michael Di Carlo.

The lessor is a private Asian investor.

The gross annual rent that shoe manufacturer and distributor will pay is about $300,000 for the shop at 264-274 Little Collins Street.

The Melbourne brand was founded by Tony Longo in 1958.

It now employs the third generation of the family.
