Deal paves way for new restaurant concept

BB&J Commercial has completed the sale of a historic property in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter, which has been earmarked for a vibrant new restaurant concept.

The firm has sold the Grade II-listed 51 Sadler Gate to a restaurant and café owner, who has plans to turn it into a restaurant showcasing authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

According to BB&J, the property, which comprises more than 2,000 sq ft of flexible space across four storeys, drew significant interest from local and regional buyers.

The firm added that its proximity to Derby’s flagship regeneration projects, including the regeneration of Becketwell and the new University of Derby Business School helped make the property an attractive proposition.

Cameron Godfrey, surveyor at BB&J Commercial, who oversaw the sale, said: “There is a clear trend emerging in Derby city centre, where there has been a noticeable increase in independent business owners looking for well-located, characterful properties to establish and grow their businesses.”
