Christie & Co has been instructed to lease a commercial unit with planning permission approved for conversion into a childcare nursery facility in East Kilbride, Glasgow.

The vacant property is located in Burley Place, an in-demand and conveniently-located site within an established industrial and trade park just 1.7 miles from East Kilbride Town Centre.

Previously home to the bottling plant and offices for Coca-Cola, 1 Burley Place now features a mix of warehouse and office accommodations, including a recently-fitted section that is 5,842sq ft in size and designed as a 70-place children’s nursery facility.

The nursery space, which is up for sale, has been finished to a high standard, featuring secure internal play areas, a commercial kitchen, a staff room/offices, a children’s cloakroom, WC facilities, and a reception area.

Additionally, there is a separate surface car park secured by a metal palisade fence.

And the garden area, which can be accessed directly from the large free-flow playrooms, is currently being refurbished.

Callum Lancaster, business sgent for childcare and education at Christie & Co, who is handling the sale, said: “This is a rare opportunity for either an existing operator looking to expand, or a new entrant into the sector looking to acquire their first setting.

“The landlord is open to negotiations regarding rent and the rental structure, particularly as the nursery develops to a more-established level.

“Our client is seeking a tenant for a long-term fully-repairing and insuring lease, presenting an opportunity to acquire a vacant unit with significant potential and minimal development requirements for conversion into a successful children’s day nursery, subject to Care Inspectorate registration.

“The location is ideal for commuters and is situated in an area with a growing and expanding population.

“It also sits immediately at the entrance to K-Woodlands and is an excellent fit for childcare businesses which specialises in the woodlands nursery sector.”
