DEMOGRAPHICSWorcester has a primary catchment population of 298,000 persons and a retail catchment of 191,000 persons (Source: Promis). This is further boosted by the tourist economy which Visit Britain estimates approximately 500,000 visitors each year, spending in excess of £160 million per annum with Heritage attractions including Worcester Cathedral, The Commandery, Museum of Royal Worcester, the Guildhall, Worcester City Museum and Art gallery. This is further supported by the city’s sporting venues including Worcestershire County Cricket Ground, and Worcester Warriors Rugby Club. Worcester University also attracts in excess of 10,000 students.

The Worcester area contains a high proportion of adults of working age categorised within the most affluent AB social group (which includes those in managerial and professional occupations). In contrast, the least affluent D and E social groups (which includes those in skilled and unskilled manual employment, the unemployed and those on state benefits) are particularly under-represented within the Worcester area and social group C1 (which includes junior non manual employees) is moderately under-represented (Source: Promis).

RETAILING IN WORCESTERWorcester is an attractive retailing destination with a loyal and affluent catchment population, benefiting from its distance from other competing major retail centres and large wealthy rural surrounding area.

The City Centre provides approximately 1,070,000 sq ft of retail floor space (Source: PROMIS) with the vast majority focused on High Street where national retailers include:

The principal shopping centre in the City is CrownGate which provides approximately 300,000 sq ft of retail space anchored by House of Fraser, Primark and a 750 space multi-storey carpark.

Cathedral Plaza which fronts the southern end of High Street and Pump Street was successfully refurbished and reconfigured in 2017. The scheme is mixed use comprising an 86-bedroom Travelodge, 7 screen Vue Cinema, a gym, flagship retail including Wilko and H&M and restaurants with Cosy Club, Miller & Carter and Pizza Express all present with a 360 space multi-storey carpark.

DESCRIPTIONMarmion House comprises a relatively modern concrete framed, 5 storey, end of terrace building of brick elevations under a flat roof. The ground floor frontages comprise two prime retail units (Joules being double fascia) facing High Street (one with return frontage to Copenhagen Street) plus one smaller unit fronting Copenhagen Street. The High Street units trade at ground floor with first floor ancillary and sales. The unit on Copenhagen Street is ground floor only.

The entrance to the cocktail bar and upper floors is located on Copenhagen Street.

Given the triple aspect nature of the property, the upper floors which have been sub-divided into a number of self-contained offices provide excellent natural light. There is a lift which provides access to the three upper floors.

The property is not Listed but is located in a Conservation Area.

SITUATIONThe property is prominently situated on the southern section of High Street at the junction of Copenhagen Street opposite Cathedral Quarter and adjacent to Guildhall and therefore benefits from a strong footfall.

Nearby retailers include:

TENUREThe property is held Freehold.

TENANCIES The property is multi-let on effective full repairing and insuring leases, by way of a service charge, providing a net income of £268,268 per annum. Further information with regards to the service charge upon request.

RENTAL COMMENTARY/ ASSET MANAGEMENTThe retail passing rents range from £87.50 ZA (Joules) and £94.50 ZA (Moss Bros).

The office rents are affordable equating to £6-£7 psf and this is reflected in the number of tenants having renewed their leases and not exercised their break options.

Given the triple aspect nature of the building we are of the opinion that there is the ability to construct further floors. We also believe the property would suit a number of alternative uses including residential, hotel, student accommodation and leisure uses, subject to gaining the necessary consents.
