A largely empty office block on York’s riverside is on sale for £2.7 million – and could soon be converted into very desirable apartments.
The five-storey building on Low Ousegate is something of a landmark, standing next to Yates bar and Ouse Bridge.
And now the freehold for the whole thing could be yours for a few million.
The ground floor is home to Linley and Simpson estate agents.
They are tenanted until September 2027 with an annual rental of £67,000.
Marketed by Milburns Commercial, the details say: “The remaining four upper floors are vacant and in need of modernisation, but planning permission has been granted for conversion into eight large two-bedroom apartments.
“The building is equipped with a rear lift providing access to all floors, and ladder access to the roof, which may have additional development potential pending further planning approval.”
Most recently, the empty floors have been used to house a graffiti and street art exhibition by the York-based non-profit art collective Bombsquad.
They also created the distinctive murals at the top of the building, featuring a grumpy monkey and a happy crocodile.
