Summary - 101, REGENT ROAD LE1 7DA
1 bed 1 bath Warehouse
High-power, large-plot asset near university and rail links.
Freehold former data centre with large open-plan floor plates
A substantial, freehold former data centre in a strategic Leicester location, this property offers large open-plan office floors, significant on-site parking and strong power capacity for tech or heavy electrical use. The building sits close to the city centre, Midland Mainline station and the University of Leicester, benefitting from excellent broadband and mobile connectivity — useful for occupiers or specialist conversion projects.
Key technical strengths include a current 1.5 MVA power supply (upgradeable to 3.8 MVA subject to interest), 5 kN/m2 floor loading, suspended ceilings, full raised floors and air conditioning. Generous clear floor plates and 2.75m floor-to-ceiling heights give flexibility for office, studio, light industrial or data/tech-related uses. The site’s very large plot and dedicated off-street parking add operational convenience rarely found so close to the primary office core.
This opportunity is well suited to investors or owner-occupiers seeking a city-edge asset with redevelopment or refurbishment potential. The property can be leased on full repairing and insuring terms, and the owner may consider selling — offering multiple acquisition routes. The building’s presentation is practical rather than high-end showroom, allowing a purchaser to add value through targeted refurbishment and reconfiguration.
Buyers should note several material considerations: the surrounding neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels, and the immediate area is a multicultural student district which may influence tenant mix and rental tone. The property will likely require refurbishment and tenant-fit works to realise higher rents or alternative uses. Price information provided appears indicative; confirm current terms and costs before proceeding.
