The property extends to a total site area of c. 1.2 acres (0.48 ha) and currently comprises a vacant building arranged over ground and five upper floors, providing a Gross Internal Area (GIA) of c. 63,697 sqft (c. 5,918 sqm). Surrounding the building are c. 100 surface car parking spaces.
The main pedestrian access to the existing building is provided via Linenhall Street to the south, with vehicular access to the adjoining surface car parking area also being from Linenhall Street via a single-entry point.
Formerly comprising the Lisburn Health Centre (medical/primary care) before services were transferred to the nearby Lagan Valley Hospital in 2023, the existing building is understood to have been constructed in the late c. 1970s and comprises a concrete block frame and brick façade with double-glazed windows throughout.
Internally, the accommodation is primarily cellular in layout, designed to meet the previous specific operational requirements of the vendor, complemented by open-plan workspaces. Each floor incorporates a range of private offices, meeting rooms and ancillary areas, with the main plan areas located across ground and fifth floor levels. The upper floors of the building are accessed via a central core incorporating two passenger lifts and a main staircase, which is supplemented by two additional staircases providing alternative vertical circulation.
The floorplates, which are irregular in shape, are broadly consistent throughout the building and arranged around a central landscaped courtyard area, the existence of which enhances natural light levels to the interior.
Although part of the property’s northern boundary appears to front directly onto Bridge Street, a narrow strip of land lies in between. While the vendor retains ownership of this strip, it will not be included in the proposed sale.
