Acting on behalf of Custodian Capital and BH Manchester Ltd, Casabel have sold a prominent former bank in the heart of Manchester’s Knowledge Corridor.
The deal is the first in a series of acquisitions in Manchester for London based developer Soller Group, who were represented by Pure Real Estate Solutions.
Soller Group propose to develop the building to provide retail on the ground floor of the building, where there is an operator/tenant in place, while the upper floors will be developed into high quality residential studio apartments.
Justin Rouse of Casabel commented; “this building is situated in a prominent location in the heart of the university district opposite All Saints Park, with The University of Manchester’s new £300m Engineering Campus and the striking new School of Music all within 150m. Along with the numerous amenities, the proximity of the building to the city centre will make this accommodation amongst the most exclusive and sought after in the city.
The property is only 500m from Oxford Road Railway Station with a direct link to Manchester Airport, and one of Europe’s busiest bus routes on your doorstep, so connectivity for this location is unparalleled.
