Banks's Brewery site in Wolverhampton up for sale
The historic Banks’s Brewery site in Wolverhampton has been listed for sale with redevelopment potential - three months after its final brew of Banks’s Bitter.
The 6.14-acre city site in Brewery Road is on the market with Birmingham-based global commercial real estate agents CBRE.
No price tag has been given for the landmark site which had been home to the famous brewery for 150 years before it closed for good at the end of September - a month after its last brewing day.
Promotional particulars say the sale of the brewery site represents a rare opportunity to purchase a large freehold site, with redevelopment potential, next to Wolverhampton city centre.
It has been rumoured that Marks & Spencer is interested in the site, among others, as it looks for a suitable location to open a new M&S Food offering in the city.
The site comprises the former logistics warehouse on the eastern side, the logistics yard in the central portion of the main site, and the brewery itself - ranging from a single to a five-storey building - on the western side.
Sitting next to Wolverhampton City Centre's ring road (A4150) and within the strategic centre of the city - it has dual access from Bath Road and Chapel Ash - with “excellent arterial access” to surrounding areas and counties and good rail connectivity to Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and London Euston - sales particulars say.
