SUBSTANTIAL FREEHOLD DEVELOPMENT & INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
PLANNING FOR 72 APARTMENTS | 32-UNIT CLASS MA PRIOR APPROVAL | EXISTING COMMERCIAL BUILDING
We are pleased to offer for sale Indigo House, a substantial freehold property offering a range of residential development, investment and alternative-use opportunities in Wokingham.
The property benefits from a resolution to grant detailed planning permission, subject to completion of the Section 106 Agreement, for a comprehensive 72-apartment residential scheme, incorporating the conversion and extension of the existing building together with the addition of two new storeys.
Separately, the property benefits from Class MA Prior Approval for the conversion of the existing office accommodation to provide 32 residential apartments, offering a purchaser an alternative development route.
Importantly, the property is being sold freehold in its existing form and a purchaser is not restricted to implementing either residential scheme. The existing commercial building provides the opportunity for continued commercial use or the exploration of alternative uses and redevelopment opportunities, including potentially care, healthcare, retail, serviced accommodation or other commercial uses, subject to the necessary planning and statutory consents.
Planning & Development Potential
The principal residential scheme provides for 72 apartments across the retained building and proposed additional floors, comprising a mix of one and two-bedroom accommodation.
The planning application has been approved subject to completion of the Section 106 Agreement, which is currently being progressed.
In addition, Class MA Prior Approval has been granted for 32 apartments within the existing building.
The property therefore provides an incoming purchaser with considerable flexibility to consider:
- Implementing the 72-apartment residential development;
- Progressing the 32-apartment Class MA conversion;
- Retaining the existing commercial building; or
- Exploring alternative commercial, care or other development uses, subject to the necessary consents.
Location
Indigo House is situated within Mulberry Business Park, Wokingham, benefiting from convenient access to Wokingham town centre, railway station and the wider Thames Valley.
Wokingham is an affluent and highly regarded Berkshire market town which consistently performs strongly in national quality-of-life measures. Recent research ranked Wokingham fourth nationally among English local authority districts as a place to grow old, with the area performing particularly strongly for low crime, low poverty and life expectancy.
Separate recent research has also identified Wokingham as having an average life expectancy of approximately 84 years, among the highest in England.
The borough also benefits from highly regarded schools and has seen significant investment in Wokingham town centre, further enhancing its appeal to families, professionals and older residents.
Wokingham provides excellent connectivity to Reading, Bracknell and the wider Thames Valley employment market. Wokingham railway station provides services towards Reading and London Waterloo, while the A329(M) provides convenient access to the M4 and wider motorway network.
A Flexible Acquisition Opportunity
Indigo House represents considerably more than a single consented residential development.
The combination of the existing substantial commercial building, 32-unit Class MA Prior Approval and the larger 72-unit residential scheme provides purchasers with the ability to assess a number of different development and investment strategies from a single freehold acquisition.
The opportunity may therefore be of interest to residential developers, office-to-residential specialists, investors, build-to-rent operators, care operators and other specialist property companies.
