A prominent headquarters office building in Redditch has been sold for over £3 million, paving the way for a major care home development. The site, Osprey House on Albert Street, spans 1.7 acres and offers more than 30,000 sq ft of commercial space. Previously used as an educational facility until May 2022, the property became vacant following the relocation of Heart of Worcestershire College to its expanded Bromsgrove campus.

The site has been acquired by MACC Care Group, a leading Midlands-based care home provider known for delivering high-quality elderly nursing, dementia, and residential care facilities. Plans are in place to redevelop the Redditch site into a state-of-the-art, 98-bedroom care home across three storeys, helping to meet growing demand for elderly accommodation in the area. The development is also expected to create around 60 full-time jobs, boosting the local economy.

The sale was completed by commercial property consultancy GJS Dillon, who reported strong market interest in the site. The deal reflects a wider shift in demand away from large headquarters office buildings toward alternative uses and modern SME-focused commercial spaces. By securing a care sector occupier, the site will remain a valuable employment hub while addressing local care needs.
