DESCRIPTION
The Glasshouse site, 0.5 acres or thereabouts, is positioned on the lower tier of Basing View, prominent and visible to Churchill Way East. It comprises what is effectively an island site, adjacent to the Sun Life HQ building, with 3 main road frontages. Festival Place shopping and restaurant facilities are within a short walk, as are the bus and railway stations. The new John Lewis and Waitrose stores are situated diagonally opposite this site, being the first phase of regeneration of Basing View by Muse Development in partnership with Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council. The site has previously secured planning consent (No. BDB70249) for redevelopment to provide a 9 storey budget hotel of 137 rooms and 45 car parking spaces (some of these car spaces would need to be provided at basement level).
LEASE
The site is offered (a) For Sale by way of a long leasehold interest, or (b) as a design and build opportunity for a hotel or other commercial use, subject to planning. Provisional terms have previously been agreed with the Borough Council to provide for a new lease period of 150 years subject to a ground rent of 5% of rents received for the first 25 years of the lease term, increasing to 7.5% thereafter.
RENT/PRICE
Rental terms will be dependent upon design and build requirements. Alternatively, the long leasehold interest could be purchased for the sum of £1.25 million.
ENERGY RATING
Not applicable at present.
RATES
A rateable value will be assessed upon completion of a construction project.
VIEWING
The site can be inspected from the roadside. Thereafter, interested parties are asked to make contact with the joint agents in order to progress discussions. Additional background information in connection with the Basing View regeneration scheme can be viewed on www.basingview.co.uk.
