The property was built in the late 1960s as a detached, self-contained office building, previously occupied by BT until 2011.
Prior approval for change of use was obtained by Telereal Trillium in August 2014 for this prominent five storey office building, offering approximately 2,908 sq m (31,300 sq ft) of net internal space and a total site area extending to 0.69 acres (0.28 hectares). The proposed conversion is for 36 residential Class C3 units of one and two bedroom apartments, with the added provision of 45 allocated parking spaces.
Telereal Trillium, Director of Disposals & Development, Mark Kelly said: "Colchester benefits from being a historic and idyllic town that is superbly located within just an hour's commute of London by rail. It has understandably become a very popular commuter's town and demand is expected to further boom in upcoming years. This will be a fantastic opportunity for the right buyer."
