This prominent five-acre gateway site at The Teardrop, Port Way, offers rare scale and motorway frontage ideal for warehouse, light industrial, R&D or office-led schemes. An easement enables a high-quality underpass access from Port Solent to the M27 slip road, giving excellent connectivity for logistics and commuter staff alike. Portsmouth City Council has reportedly reacted favourably to commercial proposals, but a bespoke planning application will be required to suit an occupier’s needs.
The land is freehold and sits within a well-established commercial corridor close to marina leisure facilities, retail and major employers, offering strong profile and potential customer/tenant pull. The plot’s size and roadside visibility suit occupiers seeking one large building or a multi-unit scheme with ancillary offices and parking. There is no flood risk and broadband speeds are reported fast—important for light industrial, R&D and office uses.
Buyers should note material constraints: there is no specific planning permission in place and the local planning department will want significant input on design and scheme nature. The surrounding area scores as deprived with above-average crime statistics; these local socio-economic factors are likely to influence specification, security requirements and tenant mix. Each party will be responsible for their own legal costs.
This site will appeal to developers or occupiers able to manage the consenting process and design to meet council expectations, and to investors seeking a high-profile commercial asset at a key motorway gateway. With the right planning and specification, the location’s connectivity and scale can deliver a strong operational hub or multi-tenant investment.
