The Freshwater Group, in association with development consultants Total Property Solutions, has started work on the redevelopment of the former General Accident Insurance offices in Torquay to create an exciting new retail and residential scheme in the heart of St Marychurch, Torquay.
Property consultants Alder King in Exeter have been appointed to market the retail element of the scheme. Anchor tenant Sainsbury’s Local has already signed a new lease for a 4,000 sq ft convenience store and Barnardo’s has acquired 1,500 sq ft of retail space in the scheme.
A small range of units, ranging from 500 to 3,000 sq ft, are now being offered on a pre-let basis. Configured in an attractive courtyard style, these are suitable for retail or cafe use, including A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5.
Lee Southan of Alder King comments: “This development, scheduled for completion this summer, has opened up the site and will provide a valuable new retail provision for the popular suburbs of St Marychurch and Babbacombe in Torquay.”
