Large redevelopment or letting opportunity near transport hubs and city amenities.
Approx. 26,981 sq ft mixed commercial buildings
A large, mixed-use commercial portfolio prominently sited at the corner of Sunbridge Road and Westend Street, within easy walking distance of Bradford Interchange and City Park. The stock totals approximately 26,981 sq ft across interconnected stone and brick buildings, with yard space and a 0.06-acre tarmacked parcel providing around 10 car parking spaces. Parts are occupied, but several units are vacant or underused, giving immediate scope to refurbish and re-let or pursue redevelopment subject to planning.
The property is being sold freehold with one material letting of Watan Food Products Ltd on a six-year lease from 7 April 2025 at £20,000 pa. Note the short lease term: only six years remain on the primary lease, which will restrict mortgage lending and affects financeability for some buyers. 148 Sunbridge Road has suffered severe fire damage and will require significant repair or demolition as part of any comprehensive redevelopment or refurbishment programme.
This is a value-add opportunity for an investor or developer able to manage planning, refurbishment and letting in a centre-city, high-visibility location. The site’s size, mixed accommodation and included land parcel create flexibility for refurbishment, consolidation or redevelopment (STPP). Be aware the area shows very high crime levels and high deprivation, and the buildings are in need of renovation, which should be factored into acquisition and holding-cost assumptions.
