A substantial, centrally located light-industrial building on approx. 2 acres with three levels of undercroft parking (about 480 spaces) offers rare scale in Hanley city centre. The site sits on a prominent corner near the Potteries Shopping Centre and benefits from strong vehicular links to the M6 (J15/16). The existing building was formerly a large retail/warehouse unit and provides large-span, high-ceiling internal spaces suited to storage, leisure, retail or subdivision.
The principal value drivers are size, city-centre location and flexibility. The plot is unusually large for an urban site and could suit redevelopment or alternative uses subject to planning consent. There is clear potential for conversion to self-storage, logistics, leisure or mixed commercial uses where parking and prominence are required.
Buyers should note several material constraints. There are reported structural issues within the car park that will need investigation and repair. The area has very high recorded crime and is classed as very deprived; public infrastructure includes excellent mobile signal but very slow broadband. Tenure is recorded as unknown and the listing data shows an indicative price of 1, which should be treated as a placeholder — purchasers must verify tenure, pricing and planning position before offer.
This opportunity is aimed at investors or developers who can manage remediation and planning risk. The site’s scale and central location give scope for value-add repositioning but budget for structural repairs, potential environmental and security measures, and slower-than-average local market demand.
