The affluent historic Cathedral and Market City of Chester is one of the UK’s most favoured Cities, boasting a wealth of Cultural Heritage, and Educational attractions with space to Live, Work, Play and Learn.  

With excellent road and rail connections, Chester can access Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales within the hour, with a Primary Catchment of over 810,000. 

 

Situated on the Northern side of Foregate Street (one of the City’s premier retail and leisure locations), this is strategically located for shopping, leisure and transport, with the mainline railway station and new bus station both being less than a 10 minute walk from the property. 

 

This is a modern framed building with clear internal space and good floor-ceiling heights developed in the early 1990’s purpose built for Argos. It has three separate internal staircase cores, supplemented by lifts, and has been stripped back to shell to enable the full potential this substantial property to be realised.

Chester One City Plan

Since 2012, Chester has taken a strategic long-term view of how the city could evolve and thrive. Our One City Plan sets out a vision for a modern, vibrant city where the public, private and community sectors are working together to make Chester a fairer, stronger, and greener city.

First published in 2012, the One City Plan set out a strategic vision and regeneration priorities for the future of Chester over a 15-year period. This resulted in over fifty projects with a combined investment of almost £1 billion.

These projects have all created jobs, increased tourism and given Chester a positive economic boost, see more here. We have achieved a lot but there’s much more to do.
