The most expensive listing in the area on property website Zoopla is for a 29,278 square feet of office space in the Minton Place building on Station Road, which is on the market for offers of more than £3,282,085.
This works out to £112.10 per square foot across five floors.
The location seems to be its biggest selling point, as it is based on a prominent corner plot opposite Swindon’s train station, and the close proximity of the new bus boulevard on Fleming Way is mentioned as an attractive aspect for potential buyers.
Agent Hartnell Taylor Cook LLP suggests that the freehold site could be rented out to eight tenants for a total passing rent of £384,422 per year, which reflects a low average rent of £13.06 per square foot.
The building could be refurbished into offices or flats, as planning permission is already in place to convert an adjoining office building into 58 flats.
