Reading is firmly established as the dominant regional retail and commercial destination in the south east.  The largest town in Berkshire and the Thames Valley, it sits approximately 41 miles west of Central London, 25 miles south of Oxford and 18 miles north of Basingstoke.

The building range from two to three storeys in height, with retail and leisure at ground floor and ancillary back-of-house and office accommodation on the upper floors.

The upper parts represent the principal development opportunity.  In total, the property includes seven units fronting Broad Street, three units fronting Friar Street (directly facing the Station Hill development, where the Elizabeth Line station is visible) and three smaller units on Union Street, a secondary pedestrianised street linking Broad Street with Friar Street.

The property comprises a large, unbroken freehold site of approximately 1.63 acres (0.66 HA).
