A regional daily’s historic home has gone on the market after its publisher revealed it was considering selling the building.

The Queen Street of the Wolverhampton Express & Star has been listed for sale three months after the Midlands News Association confirmed it was considering leaving the premises.

The MNA admitted in March it was “considering various options” for the Queen Street building after it was highlighted as a potential investment opportunity in a prospectus published by the City of Wolverhampton Council.

The Express & Star has been based at Queen Street since at least the 1880s and the building also serves as the MNA’s headquarters.

The site is listed with estate agent Knight Frank and is described as a “rare, substantial city centre mixed use opportunity with approximately 350 space multi-storey car park”.

HTFP has approached the MNA for a comment on the move.

Matt Ross, the publisher’s managing director, previously said: “For a number of years we have been exploring opportunities surrounding our historic Express & Star offices in the heart of Wolverhampton.

“After removing the printing presses from the site and restructuring our departments we now have significant spare capacity available and so are looking at the various options available to us, be that redeveloping the current site or exiting the building altogether.”
