DESCRIPTION
The property occupies a highly prominent position adjacent to Manchester United Football Club, off Trafford Wharf Road, overlooking the River Irwell.

The site is broadly rectangular in shape and is located opposite the newly developed Wharfside Metrolink Station, providing rapid connections to Manchester City Centre, Trafford Centre and regional towns throughout Greater Manchester. Significant development and investment has been undertaken within the locality to create a highly desirable residential, leisure and commercial destination.

The whole site extends to approximately 2.23 acres and is set out to provide a four storey purpose built office building totalling approximately 31,500 sq ft, with the benefit of 250 surface car parking spaces.

LOCATION
The circa 2.23 acre site is located at the fulcrum of Manchester City Centre, Old Trafford and Media City within the Borough of Trafford, overlooking the Quays on one side and Manchester United Football ground to the other.

It is situated within the exclusive Trafford Wharfside development area which is a mixed-use development area including residential, high quality office and leisure uses. The wider Salford Quays and Media City areas have experienced high levels of regeneration over the last twenty years which has transformed the area into a destination to live, work and socialise. This is the Canary Wharf of the North.

As a gateway location, Trafford Wharf Road is within close proximity to Old Trafford Football Ground, Hotel Football, Salford Quays, The Lowry Theatre, The Imperial War Museum and Media City. Immediate transport links are available via the newly developed Wharfside Metrolink Station located on the Trafford Park Line providing connections to Manchester City Centre and the Trafford Centre. In addition, the Bridgewater Way bypass (A56) is in close proximity, providing easy access south and Manchester City Centre 2.5 miles to the north east.

AMENITIES
The site benefits from a range of amenities located within the surrounding area.
Within close proximity to the site there are a number of transport links, retail and leisure, food and drink and hotel uses. The newly developed Wharfside Metrolink Station gives access to the wider strategic transport network and the amenities associated within Manchester City Centre, The Trafford Centre and the wider Greater Manchester Area.

PLANNING
The site has previously been occupied under a B1 office use with associated car parking.
Whilst the property could be re-occupied on this basis, the site presents an excellent redevelopment opportunity subject to the relevant planning consents. Interested parties should make their own enquiries with Trafford Council and satisfy themselves as to the present planning position.

Colliers Planners have reviewed the site and comment that the site has development potential to deliver a high quality residential-led mixed use development that has a lasting positive impact on the immediate and surrounding area. A planning report produced by Colliers Planners is available to view as part of the downloadable documents for reference.
