A landmark redevelopment opportunity inside Chester’s city walls, the Former Quicks Building occupies a prominent riverside corner and offers 47,971 sq ft across three floors with a rooftop car park. Its L-shaped footprint on a 0.58-acre site is large for a central location and presents scope for a major mixed‑use scheme, subject to planning and statutory consents.
The building’s scale, direct proximity to the bridge, river and central retail/residential areas, plus excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, make it attractive to developers and investors targeting central-city living, hospitality or workspace conversions. Off-street parking via the rooftop car park is a practical benefit for a city-centre plot.
Important practical considerations are stated plainly: the property will require significant refurbishment or demolition and full redevelopment to meet modern standards; tenure details are not confirmed and statutory consents will be required. The site sits in a deprived area with very high recorded crime levels, which will affect lettability, insurance and financing assessments.
Overall, this is a high‑visibility, large-footprint urban plot offering substantial development potential for a purchaser prepared to manage planning risk, refurbishment costs and local area challenges. Viewing and feasibility work are recommended to establish viable uses and costs before offer.
