140,000 sq ft department store in Coventry comes to the market

A COVENTRY department store has been placed on the market through Midlands agents Harris Lamb and Bruton Knowles, creating the biggest retail opportunity within the city for many years.
 
The Heart of England Co-Operative Society has instructed the agents to market its department store and associated properties, which occupies 136,178 sq ft and front both Corporation Street and Lower Precinct.

The department store has three sales floors, along with basement and third floor offices and storage space, while the Lower Precinct unit has three floors.

The property is thought to be of interest to developers for conversion or investors looking to add value to the site.
 
David Walton, head of retail at Harris Lamb, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for investors or developers to take on a large, prime retail opportunity in Coventry city centre.

“The site is available both to buy or to let as a whole or in parts.”
