The BBC has put part of its historic site on Whiteladies Road in Bristol on the market.
The 3.2-acre site on Whiteladies Road in the heart of Clifton comprises a mix of listed buildings, modern buildings and a large car park to the rear. Subject to necessary planning permission, it could be suited to a variety of alternative uses.
By reducing its occupation of the site and selling part of it, the BBC intends to use proceeds from the sale to upgrade and improve the space it will continue to occupy at the site.
The broadcaster, which has occupied the site since 1934, recently moved part of its Bristol operations to Bridgwater House in the city centre.
Roxine Foster, director at Lambert Smith Hampton, which has been appointed to market the opportunity, said: “This is one of the largest opportunities to hit the market in Clifton for several years and is likely to attract widespread interest. We look forward to working alongside the BBC to identify a party with an aligned vision for the long-term potential for this historic site.”
