THE lease for part of the Odeon/Reel cinema building in Blossom Street, York, is on the rental market.

Agents Sanderson Weatherall are offering a 589 sq-ft street facing unit there for £12,000 per year exclusive of £4,219.50 business rates, service charge and VAT, with the length of the lease to be negotiated.

Richard Webster, associate partner of Sanderson Weatherall, said: “Our client has undertaken a comprehensive refurbishment of the former Odeon cinema, and this now operates as one of 18 cinema sites nationwide owned by Reel Cinemas Ltd.

“The retail unit we are marketing occupies an extremely prominent position adjacent to the main cinema entrance and with the benefit of A3 planning (café, snack bar or restaurant) this represents an excellent opportunity to secure representation in a busy and improving location.”
