Centre Hospitalier Montluçon
property details
for a Hub House co-operative coliving project
#46 🏅63% SOLD • €100k • commercial • suburb • 7500m² hub • Sold at auction for €161k between three bidders. (Very similar opportunity to the Girardy property #47, but in a much less isolated setting.) A huge old hospital on the edge of a hill overlooking a very pleasant town, with potential capacity of 50 studios in a practical layout with tons of common spaces. Demolition has been quoted at over €1m thus bid activity should be low. Whereas conversion to mixed use multigenerational coliving would be reasonably simple, very cost effective, with great impact and returns given low aquisition cost.
