POCHIN DEVELOPMENTS SECURES THE CO-OP AT KEY LONGTON REDEVELOPMENT SITE
Pochin Developments, in a joint venture with Malahat Properties Ltd, is to carry out the redevelopment of the former Leeds Pottery site on Anchor Road in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.
The site is being redeveloped to comprise 603 sq m (6,500 sq ft) of retail accommodation, of which 371 sq m (4,000 sq ft) has already been pre-let to the Co-Op supermarket. The pre-let leaves two units of 116 sq m (1,250 sq ft) remaining, which can be combined to accommodate larger requirements. Work started on site in August 2008, with completion scheduled for December 2008.
James Howson, Development Surveyor comments: "By redeveloping the former Leeds Pottery site, we hope to provide a convenient retail hub for the surrounding residential area. The pre-let secured to the Co-Op will act as an anchor for the retail scheme, in turn, attracting occupiers of a similar calibre to the development. "
David Weston at Butters John Bee is letting agent for the scheme.
