Agent secures divine deal for former city centre offices

Salloway Property Consultants has successfully completed the letting of a prime city centre former office and training facility.

Potters House Christian Fellowship, a global network of churches, has secured 2-3 St Peters Churchyard, further expanding its presence in the community.

It will serve as a central hub for the congregation’s worship, community outreach and various social initiatives.

William Speed, of Salloway Property Consultants, acted on behalf of a private landlord client to secure the new tenant for the 12,000 sq ft building after development attempts were unsuccessful at the property.

He said: “I’m delighted to be able to let the property to a group that will add back to the local community.

“The building at St Peters Churchyard offers a wonderful space for both worship and community outreach.

“It is a prime example of repurposing city centre property to encourage more people to use the city centre.

“It is no secret that Derby city centre has been struggling in recent years but with new developments such as the Becketwell scheme, the Nightingale Quarter and the upcoming Friar Gate Goods Yard there is real confidence that these developments will return the city centre to its former glory.”

Chiso Nwokoro, of Potters House Christian Fellowship, said: “We are thrilled to begin this new chapter at 2-3 St Peters Churchyard.

“This is a significant step for us as we continue to build a vibrant church environment where people from all walks of life can come and find support, encouragement, and a sense of belonging.

“The location is ideal for our growing congregation and will serve as a beacon of hope and community service for many years to come.”
