A FORMER Territorial Army site in Prestatyn is said to be “under offer” after being placed on the market with a guide price of £1.5million.

The Army Reserve Centre, located on the corner of Marine Road and Bastion Road in Prestatyn, was sold to the Reserve Forces and Cadets Association for Wales in November 2016.

It followed a Government decision to merge the 101 Battalion of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers with the 105 battalion, based in Bristol.

The Ministry of Defence later placed it on the market with GVA, which was later taken over by Avison Young.

Aldi axes plan for new store on former Territorial Army site in Prestatyn

Per Rightmove, an offer has now been made for the 82,764 sq ft centre.

Supermarket chain Aldi had considered opening a new store at the site, but after “extensive work” exploring its potential redevelopment, it decided in 2022 not to pursue this.

Avison Young says of the site: “The subject site is occupied as a training and defence facility and comprises a total of approximately 1.9 acres (0.80 hectares).

“The accommodation on-site is constructed of brick elevations under a part-pitched, part-flat roof.

“The buildings are of three storeys to the front and single rear build, with the front subdivided into offices, mess barracks and ancillary space, with thee rear providing open warehouse/stores facility.

“To the rear section of the site is a substantial yard area with rear grassland.

“Gated vehicular access to the facility is provided off Marine Road, with pedestrian access provided at the junction.”

Avison Young was contacted for further comment regarding the potential buyer of the site.
