Issue details
Proposals for the Freehold of Stonebow House and further options for changes to the Commercial Portfolio
Purpose of Report: The report will set out options to dispose of the freehold interest in 2 poorly performing freehold interests currently held in the Council’s commercial portfolio (Stonebow House and 10-12 Redeness St) and to invest in the purchase of the leasehold interests of 2 properties with a better financial yield.
The disposal of the freehold interests will, subject to planning, enable redevelopment of underused assets. The purchase of the leasehold interests will generate an increased revenue income and secure potential future development opportunities.
This report has been deferred to the October Executive meeting to allow Officers time to examine further options for changes to the Council’s commercial portfolio.
