Convert Your Vacant Building
Do you have a vacant property or space in Gloucester?
Are you struggling to find occupiers for your building?
Is the current use of your building no longer viable?
Does your building have vacant upper floors?
Have you considered re-purposing your building into housing?
'Bringing Buildings Back to Life' is a City Council campaign giving a new lease of life to existing buildings which might be redundant or economically unviable in their current use.
We want you to help regenerate the city by re-purposing your building into high quality housing. We want to hear from property owners with vacant floors in their building and owners with buildings that are entirely vacant.
Even if your building is currently in use but its current use is no longer viable, we want to hear from you.
To register your interest in this regeneration project or to find out more please contact Chloe on 01452 396318 or email HPST@gloucester.gov.uk
