This significant transaction, managed by Legat Owen on behalf of Wrexham County Borough Council, marks a pivotal moment for the estate. The new owner, a local property investor, plans to invest over £5 million in redeveloping the 3.87-acre site, which is expected to bring new opportunities and growth to the area.
Major Investment in Wrexham Industrial Estate
The completion of the sale of the Redwither Business Centre and its surrounding land is set to usher in a new era of development for Wrexham Industrial Estate. The site, which spans 3.87 acres, was sold to a local property investor following a competitive tender process. This investor has ambitious plans to clear the existing structures and redevelop the area, with an investment exceeding £5 million. This redevelopment is anticipated to attract new businesses and create additional employment opportunities, further enhancing the estate’s economic landscape.
The strategic location of the site, with its prominent position on Abbey Road, makes it an attractive proposition for various uses. The investor’s intention to demolish the redundant office building and submit a planning application for redevelopment indicates a forward-thinking approach. This move is expected to breathe new life into the estate, which already hosts over 340 businesses and provides employment for more than 10,000 people.
The sale and subsequent redevelopment plans have been met with enthusiasm from local stakeholders. Mark Diaper, Director at Legat Owen, highlighted the strong interest from both local occupiers and developers during the marketing phase. This interest underscores the site’s potential and the positive impact the investment will have on the local economy.
