The site which is for sale includes the car park at Wexford bridge, Metro Bar and two other units.

A MAIN street retail unit, a former bank, a bar and a temporary car park make up a new portfolio of property which is for sale for an asking price of more than €850,000.

The mixed-use development, which is being sold through joint agents DTZ Sherry FitzGerald and Sherry FitzGerald Haythornthwaite, is a 0.30 hectare site at Commercial Quay which includes number 84 facing on to North Main Street, the car park and adjoining building opposite Wexford bridge and Metro Bar.

The sellers state that most of the site has already been cleared and is being used as a temporary car park thus offering some short-term income and proving ideal of a mixed-use development.

Zoned as ‘town centre’ planning, the site is defined “to protect and enhance the special physical and social character of the existing town centre and to provide for new and improved town centre facilities and uses.”

Rory Breen of agent DTZ said the site provided a unique opportunity for a developer to acquire a large town centre site with an excellent profile for a large mixed-use retail and residential scheme in the heart of Wexford town.
