The former offices of the Plymouth Herald, located in the north of the city, are up for sale with a price tag of £5 million.
The newspaper moved to a new site in the city centre last year and has reported itself this week that its previous residency is on the market. Colliers International and Vickery Holman are managing the sale.
The site, which is located just off the A386 Tavistock Road, has a futuristic design and the Plymouth Herald reports that offices are available to buy or let on a floor-by-floor basis. The full office building, otherwise known as the Ship, has been valued at £5 million.
The Ship was designed by Sir Nicholas Grimshaw and completed in 1993. It has since received multiple design awards – including the Royal Institution of British Architect Award in 1994 – that have seen it become celebrated as one of the south-west’s best known and most distinctive buildings.
The office building has been stripped, leaving large open areas with ceilings up to eight-metres-high ready to be occupied. The space is said to be suitable for a variety of purposes but its proximity to Derriford Hospital makes it particularly attractive for businesses in the medical sector.
Mike Oldrieve of Vickery Holman said: “As you would expect the offices are fitted out to a moderns standard, largely open plan with raised floors, suspended ceilings with category II recessed lighting and full air conditioning throughout. There is also an excellent level of parking with 244 spaces on site.
“Whatever businesses are attracted by the next stage of development, the Ship will maintain a very high profile on Plymouth’s business scene.”
The business offers a unique opportunity to invest in a company dedicated to providing exceptional care while promoting independence for young adults.
The business was founded over 15 years ago and is well renowned for their holistic service; delivering a compassionate, reliable and professional service to the variety of Children and Adults they support.
The business provides sought after services to assist NHS Mental Health Trusts and CCGs. Currently clients being supported are living with various diagnoses including; Learning Difficulties, Autism, Schizophrenia and Depression.
