Agents Appointed in Cultural and Commercial Hub Project
Bromsgrove District Council has appointed GJS Dillon to market a new commercial office and leisure development in Bromsgrove town centre, located on the Former Market Hall site. Part of a major Worcestershire regeneration project, the scheme will deliver over 1,000 sq m of premium office accommodation, space for food and beverage operators, and a rooftop terrace overlooking Bromsgrove. Funded by the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund and due for completion in early 2026, the development will create a new commercial and cultural hub, attracting businesses to Bromsgrove and supporting long-term economic growth across the town and wider Worcestershire area.
Supporting Business Growth Through Strategic Commercial Property Planning
Following his appearance on the speaking panel at the ‘Boosting Business in Worcestershire’ event hosted by Potter Space, John Dillon was interviewed by Nick Owen. John gave his views on why a commercial property plan is needed for Worcestershire to support future business growth in the County.
John Dillon Named Worcestershire Deal Maker Of The Year
John Dillon, partner at commercial property consultancy GJS Dillon, which has offices in Worcester and Bromsgrove, has been crowned ‘Deal Maker’ of the year by Estates Gazette Interactive (EGi), a national publication and ‘industry bible’, after completing the highest number of commercial property transactions in the past 12 months in Worcestershire.
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.
Redditch continues to attract commercial property interest, with businesses recognising its strategic location and growth potential.
