This property presents a noteworthy development opportunity on the site of the former Odeon Cinema in Hartlepool, which has been recently cleared for new construction. Though planning permission has not yet been secured, the positive pre-application feedback from Hartlepool's Development Corporation bodes well for future prospects.
Envisioned as a three to four-storey building, the project is designed to feature four commercial units on the ground floor, complemented by a total of 19 residential apartments – 10 one-bedroom and 9 two-bedroom units. This configuration aims to meet the growing housing demand in Hartlepool while providing valuable retail space that could enhance the local economy.
Spanning approximately 0.37 acres, this site is strategically located within the Hartlepool Town Centre Regeneration Zone. The Tees Valley Development Corporation has committed £25 million to revitalizing the area, which will improve amenities and infrastructure, making it an attractive place for residents and businesses alike.
Residents will benefit from close proximity to essential services, including major retailers such as Morrisons and Asda, as well as leisure options like Hartlepool Football Club. The nearest school is just 0.3 miles away, and public transport is easily accessible with Hartlepool Train Station only 0.7 miles from the site.
Given Hartlepool's current housing shortage, this redevelopment offers significant investment potential in a rapidly transforming area. With groundwork already laid after the demolition of the previous structure, this project is poised to contribute meaningfully to both community living and commercial viability in Hartlepool's evolving landscape.
