Details

Wakefield Council is inviting expressions of interest from the developer, investor and occupier markets in respect of the redevelopment and refurbishment of three high profile buildings in the City, as well as an adjacent key development site. These properties are the former Crown Court, the former Wakefield Police Station, Coroner’s Court and Rishworth Street Car Park. The Council will consider proposals for the buildings and site individually, or from parties with a comprehensive and/or coordinated approach.

The properties themselves are located within the commercial centre of Wakefield, a short distance to the north east of Wakefield Westgate Station, adjacent to the Wakefield One development and County Hall. Wakefield itself is located in the heart of the North of England with direct access to both the M62 and M1 motorways. The new Wakefield Westgate Station is served by intercity services from Leeds (10 minutes), London (1 hour 55 minutes), Birmingham, Edinburgh and beyond.
