A rare, large freehold opportunity in central Nottingham offering c.1 acre and c.27,852 sq ft of existing industrial accommodation. The site sits immediately west of the main rail corridor and within easy walking distance of Nottingham rail station and city-centre amenities, with the tram route nearby. Positive pre-application advice from the council indicates support for redevelopment to residential uses, including purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), subject to formal planning.
The property is being sold with vacant possession across multiple freehold titles and benefits from a secure central yard and circa 17 rear car parking spaces. Its size and city-centre location make it suitable for developers targeting medium-rise residential or mixed-use schemes where scale and proximity to transport are important value drivers.
Buyers should note material constraints typical of long-standing industrial sites: adjacency to railway lines, constrained immediate neighbouring plots, likely remediation/contamination requirements, and limited vehicle access points. The area records very high crime levels and very deprived local indices, and broadband speeds are very slow — all factors that will influence specification, security measures and viability appraisals.
This opportunity will suit experienced developers or institutional investors able to manage planning, remediation and design challenges. The council’s positive stance on residential reuse lowers one planning hurdle, but purchasers must satisfy themselves on titles, rights and statutory designations prior to exchange.
