Prime Manchester city-centre block with income, large glass frontage and strong redevelopment potential (STP)..
Large combined area c.7,005 sq ft plus car park (total site options available)
A rare city-centre block on Swan Street offering substantial footprint and clear development upside. The property comprises large glass frontage, high-ceiling Victorian fabric, basements and an adjacent car park — all within a short walk of Victoria station, Shudehill interchange and the Northern Quarter. It is currently income-producing and suits investors or developers seeking a central, well-connected site with scope for uplift.
The site is marketed without existing planning permission; proposed options submitted as subject to planning (STP) include office-to-residential conversion, additional floors, mixed-use schemes, hotel/serviced apartments or retail/leisure. The buildings’ historic character and high ceilings support conversions, while the small plot and built-up surroundings will shape design and layout constraints.
Current rental income is reported (c. £125,000 pa) but headline figures and unit-level rents vary in the brochure — purchasers should verify income and tenancy details. Practical considerations: EPCs are around band D, broadband speeds are average, the area is classified as very deprived, and planning consent will be required for change of use or additional floors.
For developers and investors this is a strategic, centrally located opportunity with immediate income and material upside if planning is achieved. It suits buyers prepared to manage planning, conservation considerations and regeneration-led risk in exchange for central Manchester exposure and strong transport links.
