Hartlepool Marina regeneration continues with new commercial units available

Five refurbished commercial units within Hartlepool’s regenerated Marina scene are avilable for new ventures to snap up.

The £500k project on Navigation Point has seen property developer Mandale Group convert the former headquarters of civil engineering firm Seymour’s, who have moved to offices at the nearby Mandale House.

Mandale has invested around £100k on each unit to provide air conditioning, lighting systems, kitchen areas and external seating areas, with refurbishment work due for completion before the end of September.

Deals have already been agreed for the development’s two larger units. Owners of neighbouring café wine bar, How Do You Do?, have agreed a long-term lease of a 2,000 sq ft unit for a new bar and bistro, Oh This is Us, while prosecco bar Hello Goodbye is set to open next door.

Joe Darragh, head of property development for the Mandale Group, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for a new commercial venture right at the centre of Hartlepool Marina, one of the North-East’s key tourist attractions.

“The 21 existing units within Navigation Point already combine high quality cuisine and a bustling night life. In fact, the Marina offers the highest concentration of restaurants anywhere in Hartlepool.

“Thanks to hosting a number of popular restaurant operators and licensed bars, the Marina is becoming a destination venue, so this is an opportunity to become part of a successful commercial zone.
