Description

The property is situated on the south side of Ducie Street, in the exciting and fast developing Piccadilly Basin area of Manchester City Centre.

In the immediate location the property is surrounded by numerous new build apartments and hotel developments. Piccadilly Train Station is less than 1/2 mile to the south. All city centre retail, bars, restaurants, transport links etc. are within close proximity.

The property comprises a ground and lower ground commercial unit which has been stripped to shell form to provide a blank canvas. The space is largely open plan with excellent natural light from windows on all sides of the unit. In particular, the unit has excellent views over the canal basin to the rear.

The unit has formerly been used a bar/leisure unit, with more recent planning for a 31 bed boutique hotel. The unit would suit a variety of other uses e.g. retail, office, restaurant etc subject to obtaining any necessary consents.

Planning granted in Apr 2021 ref 128769/FO/2020 - "Change of Use from E (Indoor Golf Centre) to C1 (Hotel) (31 rooms) with ancillary lower ground floor Bar including associated external alterations comprising altered ground floor entrance to Ducie Street, new ground floor fire escape to Ducie Street, privacy glass windows at ground floor level on Jutland Street and Ducie Street, new external canopy and bar seating area including associated window and door alterations and external plant equipment to the rear canal side elevation." Our client informs us that a material start has been made on site therefore the planning is still live. Interested parties should make their own enquiries with the local authority to confirm that this info is correct.

The property is held long leasehold for a term of 150 years (less 10 days) from and including 12th October 2001.
