Chesterfield Borough Council has approved plans to redevelop the former Eyres furniture store in Chesterfield town centre.
A local developer will convert the building into 20 apartments and 10 commercial units, starting from 500 square feet.
Jamal Khan, lettings director at Highgates, said: “We’re proud to market the ground-floor units. As an independent business, we understand how vital it is to support local entrepreneurs and help them grow in Chesterfield.”
“This mixed-use design makes smarter use of the site and helps build a vibrant, sustainable local economy.
“New residents will live directly above revitalised shops, creating a lively community hub.”
Khan added: “This project shows strong confidence in Chesterfield’s property market.
“Demand remains high for well-located homes and retail spaces.
“With attractive lease terms and incentives, the development offers a great opportunity for local businesses.”
