What is being bought

Published requirement description

Minster Quarter Central is situated to the south west of Reading station on the edge of the core retail area and is in close proximity to the Oracle shopping centre. The site is approximately ten minute's walk from Reading Station and offers frontage onto the Inner Distribution Road (IDR). It also bounds Castle Street and St Mary’s Butts which are historic streets that once formed part of the Saxon Centre of Reading. Both streets fall within the St Mary’s Butts/Castle Street Conservation Area. The Russell Street/ Castle Hill Conservation Area is on the western side of the IDR, opposite the Minster Quarter Area. The site is situated in the heart of Reading’s hugely attractive and busy town centre which acts as the region’s main shopping destination, is a major transport hub and soon to benefit from the opening of the Elizabeth Line. The site adjoins regionally popular Hexagon Theatre and is also located in an area due for significant investment and regeneration in the next few years
