Prominently positioned in Rochdale town centre, this substantial freehold property offers 36,000 sq ft (GIA) of accommodation across two floors on a secure 1.22-acre self-contained site. The building was formerly utilised as a data storage centre and benefits from a significant 2.3MVA power supply, making it suitable for a range of commercial and industrial uses.
The site enjoys excellent visibility with an extensive main road frontage at the junction of two of Rochdale’s busiest routes. Access is straightforward for both vehicles and pedestrians, with parking for approximately 30 cars and a dedicated loading bay.
Its central location provides unrivalled connectivity. The property lies just off the A58 and within minutes of Junction 20 of the M62, giving direct access to Manchester (30 minutes) and Leeds (45 minutes). Manchester Airport and Leeds Bradford Airport are also within easy reach. Public transport links are excellent, with Rochdale town centre, Oldham and Manchester all easily accessible by tram and bus.
With its scale, infrastructure and position in the heart of a growing town, the property presents an exciting opportunity for investors, developers or owner-occupiers. There is scope for alternative uses or comprehensive redevelopment (subject to planning), with potential for residential, retail, leisure or mixed-use schemes.
