Hydropool Highlands opportunity at auction
The auction firm said the building is in a “prime trading location” in the Highland capital.
Hydropool Highlands’ current agreement is for £24,000 a year and the ground floor unit extends across 6,343 sq ft.
The hot tub showroom displays more than 20 spas and is open seven days a week.
The business is one of several branches from the Canada-headquartered firm which supplies its products to over 40 countries.
The Harbour Road unit also benefits from 33 parking spaces at the front and side of the building.
Future Property Auctions claim there is a “high volume of passing traffic” with nearby occupiers including Majestic Wine and Arnold Clark.
The auctioneers stated: “Inverness is the main business and commercial centre in the Highlands.
“It offers extensive shopping, leisure and entertainment facilities, along with excellent road, rail and air links to the South and beyond.”
