    Brief

    Blackpool Council, supported by CBRE and Walker Sime, is seeking qualified developers and suppliers for the redevelopment of the Former Royal Mail Sorting Office located at Edward Street, Blackpool (FY1 1BA). This neo-Renaissance styled property is a key component of Blackpool's £2bn+ town centre regeneration programme. The site secured £8m in Government Capital Regeneration Project (CRP) funding in 2023 and is proposed for hotel development. The Council has acquired the property and completed preliminary remedial works. The four-storey building features largely open-plan floors, with the front façade in reasonable condition and rear façade requiring significant repair. The site includes a substantial inner courtyard to be shared with the adjacent Grade II Listed Old Post Office property. Located within a Conservation Area and locally listed, the property offers substantial development potential. This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) seeks to: establish development requirements; alert the market; identify capable suppliers; gauge market interest; and gather stakeholder feedback. Interested parties should review the development opportunity brochure and complete the Expression of Interest Questionnaire. Contact: luke.wilson2@cbre.com.
