Redford Developments has acquired E.ON’s former 9.3-acre UK headquarters at Westwood Business Park, Coventry, for an undisclosed price.
The Warwickshire-based firm has submitted an outline planning application to Coventry City Council for the demolition of the former HQ building and the delivery of 100 houses on the site.
E.ON had occupied the site since 1994, but relocated to new offices at Friargate in Coventry city centre last year.
Richard Mees, chief executive of Redford Developments, said: “This expansive, landmark office building is no longer required, with E.ON having moved into a brand new building within Coventry city centre. This frees up a brownfield site located within a popular residential neighbourhood. The vacant Westwood Business Park site has the potential to help meet the demand from local families for energy efficient new homes. We look forward to working with council officers, councillors and stakeholders while this outline planning application is being determined.”
Redford Developments appointed Stantec to draw up outline plans for the site with Marrons acting as the planning consultant.
