A landmark investment opportunity in Torquay.
The Strand and harbourside in Torquay are pivotal areas in the town, offering a high-quality landmark project that spans 0.91 acres. With stunning views of the harbour, this site is ideal for a new boutique
hotel with commercial space on the ground floor, showcasing the best of Devon.
Why invest in The Strand?
• The site boasts beautiful harbour views, making it a
perfect destination for visitors and locals alike.
• This project will create year-round jobs, stimulate the
local economy, and uplift land values.
• By bringing new visitors to the area, The Strand will
reduce the number empty shops and premises,
enhancing the vibrancy of the town.
• The development will complement the newly created
public realm space, adding to the area’s appeal.
Investment and development potential
• Torbay Council has already begun acquiring properties
in the area, demonstrating strong support for the
project.
• We are seeking an investor to fund the project and
operate the boutique hotel, ensuring its success.
• Car parking is available a short distance away, and the
site is well-connected by public transport, with Torquay
train station just over 1 mile away.
Prime location and community support
• The site boasts excellent bus and public transport links, ensuring easy accessibility.
• Public consultation has shown overwhelming support from the community for the redevelopment plans.
• Torbay Council has submitted a planning application, with a decision expected in summer 2025, and has already begun acquiring properties.
