Liverpool-based Promenade Estates has purchased the brownfield site on Fleetwood Road from the supermarket giant for an unspecified mixed-use development.
The £2m acquisition follows a series of investments that Promenade has made in former industrial sites across St Helens, Ellesmere Port and Widnes as part of its strategy away from purely commercial development into housing-led schemes. The acquisitions have the capacity to deliver more than 2,000 new homes, according to the developer.
The 11.86 site is on Fleetwood Road in Thornton Cleveleys and has prior planning consent for a supermarket store that would have been developed by Sainsbury’s as the former owner. The site is now highlighted in Wyre Council’s local plan for a mix of uses including residential and neighbourhood retail space.

Jane, who was known as the Fleetwood Assassin in her boxing days, is anticipating filming getting underway on a new TV series on her life story in the summer.
And there will also be her inclusion in a new display on Fleetwood Women which is being prepared at Fleetwood Museum.
Jane says she is proud to be included in the exhibition, as she grew up in the town’s fishing community and knows how strong women had to be when their men were away at sea.
Jane Couch was awarded Wyre Council s sports accolade, the Sheraton Trophy
