Keppie Massie appointed to sell Rodney Street university buildings

Liverpool John Moores University has instructed Keppie Massie to market two historic former teaching spaces in Liverpool city centre.

The Georgian townhouses, each arranged over five floors, are located at 4–6 and 10 Rodney Street, within the city’s Knowledge Quarter and close to a range of research, educational and cultural institutions.

The larger of the two, 4-6 Rodney Street, comprises 12,000 sq ft of space in the main building, as well as a pair of gatehouses and parking to the rear. Formerly home to students of Liverpool Business School, the entire site is suitable for development and restoration and is being listed at offers in excess of £2.1 million.

10 Rodney Street, which has been vacant in recent years, is set across 5,400 sq ft with scope for redevelopment as a commercial premises, educational use or conversion back to residential accommodation. It also features rear parking and is being marketed at £600,000.

Tim Garnett, director at Keppie Massie, says: “These properties are located in one of Liverpool’s most elegant and historic streets and both are suitable for a range of different uses, so we anticipate a high level of demand from institutional investors, developers and individual buyers.

“The two gatehouses at 4-6 Rodney Street also offer an additional aspect for a potential buyer to maximise their investment either through private rental income or through an onward disposal.

“This is indeed a rare opportunity to acquire a slice of Liverpool’s history and repurpose each townhouse to enjoy a prosperous future.”
