Transforming 110-116 High Street, King’s Lynn
SECTOR:
Mixed-Use Development
Location:
Kings Lynn
Size:
45,000 sq ft
Our client had a problem asset, a secondary town with 45,000 sq ft of vacant space. We approached this building with our Habitec vision. We undertook extensive local research and established where the needs of the community lay.
We invited the NHS the and the local council to work with us and the Landlord.
The proposal outlines the potential to create a versatile mixed-use space that supports local economic growth and enhances community services.
As we embark on the transformation of 110-116 High Street, our vision is to create a vibrant hub that not only meets the needs of the local community but also fosters economic growth. We believe this development will redefine King’s Lynn as a destination for innovation, collaboration, and well-being.
