Major development site near Croydon town centre put up for sale
A prime development site in Croydon has been put on the market.
The 0.53-acre site on Edridge Road was previously home to the Colombus House office development but has now been demolished.
Agents Watling Real Estate have been appointed to find a buyer.
Jamie Lamond, who is leading the sale process, said: "An earlier planning consent for a residential tower block development expires this month, but importantly the site is promoted within Croydon's Local Plan as suitable for residential uses and we expect that prospective parties will be putting forward their own revised schemes."
He continued: "There is a clear demand for modern high-quality residential accommodation popular with young professionals, key workers and students of London South Bank University's Croydon Campus."
