A property sell-off by Sainsbury’s could lead to a major new flat development in central Eltham.
The shopping arcade, St Mary’s, running between its store and the High Street, is being marketed for £2m.
Purchasers are being asked to consider the possibility of adding extra floors, possibly levelling up to the height of the adjacent cinema.
The sale of the nine retail units and the historic community centre fronting the High Street, is part of a nationwide rationalisation of Sainsbury’s estate to pay off debts.
The future of the struggling Moss Bros, one of the tenants, will be raised although the store itself, refurbished last year, seems safe at the moment, despite losing ground to the discounter stores Aldi and Lidl locally.
The advert for the site reads:
