The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) is seeking to appoint one or more partner(s) to develop HCA owned land, namely the Marine Employment Quarter (MEQ) at Centenary Quay, Woolston in Southampton. The available land is approximately 8.64 acres and has already been cleared and remediated. The land is part of the larger Centenary Quay development, which includes residential and retail use. However the MEQ development will be commercial use/employment led, with no residential element.

The objective of this procurement exercise includes the sale of land to the development partner(s). There is outline planning permission in place in respect of the entire site, as well as full planning permission for a boat building scheme on part of the site. The HCA reserves the right to accept offers made on the basis of a new or amended planning application, subject to viability.

HCA reserves the right to consider offers to develop one or more parts of the site only; however its preference would be to enter into a single development agreement for the entire site. HCA reserves the absolute right to reject any offers relating to part of the site only at any time and for any reason.

There is no project-specific grant funding available for this development; however Applicants are encouraged to consider and explore any possible grant funding which may be available in the normal way. Please note HCA reserves the absolute right, at any time and for any reason, to reject any offers which include an element of HCA grant funding.
