Description

Town & Country Property Auctions presents a Category C Listed landmark with exceptional redevelopment potential in the heart of Wishaw town centre!

145 Main Street, Wishaw, Lanarkshire, ML2 7LU

Category C Listed Mixed-Use Development Opportunity

Guide Price: £30,000

The Opportunity

A rare opportunity to acquire the former Wishaw YMCA, a prominent Category C Listed landmark occupying a prime position on Wishaw's Main Street. Originally constructed between 1912 and 1914 to the designs of renowned architect John Steel, the building combines historic character with exceptional redevelopment potential. Following fire damage to the rear section, a substantial cleared development footprint now exists behind the retained sandstone frontage, with previous professional proposals exploring a three-storey extension (subject to all necessary planning and listed building consents).

The property retains a number of significant architectural features, most notably the impressive former boardroom with its decorative plasterwork, coffered ceiling and striking stained-glass dome, which was a key reason for its Category C Listing. The building also incorporates two ground-floor retail units, providing immediate commercial potential alongside future redevelopment opportunities.

North Lanarkshire Council's Wishaw Town Action Plan identifies the property as an important heritage asset and supports bringing prominent town centre buildings back into productive use through residential, community or mixed-use development. Located close to University Hospital Wishaw, excellent transport links, major road networks and a substantial residential catchment, this is a unique opportunity to restore a local landmark while delivering a commercially attractive scheme.
