A property development company has announced that it is planning to refurbish a vacant shop and upper floors of properties on Berkhamsted High Street.
On Monday, January 27, Sorbon Estates confirmed its intention to complete a “comprehensive refurbishment” at 162-166 High Street, which was previously a Costa Coffee.
The company also owns 168-192 High Street, which it purchased in 2023, now completing its site assembly including Boots, Superdrug, Waterstones and FatFace.
In a statement, Sorbon Estates said: “Sorbon plans a comprehensive refurbishment and extension to the property and is looking to make substantial improvements to the elevations, with the addition of two new upper floors and a rear extension, introducing a mix of retail and residential space.”
Mark Allaway, director at Sorbon Estates, said: “We are greatly encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive response from the local community to our existing development plans, as shown in the recent public consultation. We are therefore delighted to have acquired this new property and are pleased to be able to incorporate it into our plans.
“As long-term investors in the town, we are committed to maintaining Berkhamsted’s reputation as a desirable place to live, shop and dine. We look forward to showcasing our plans for the next stage of the development.”
Sorbon Estates aims to submit plans for the site in the near future. For more information, please visit www.shorturl.at/rmb9m
