As part of a plan to relocate staff and save funds, Plymouth Civic Centre may be put up for sale by the city council.
A Plymouth City Council spokesperson said, "We are potentially going to market the Civic Centre in the autumn." If the building is sold, it is thought that staff who are currently based at the site would relocate to Ballard House on West Hoe Road.
The 14-storey centre, which was opened by the Queen in 1962, currently serves as the administrative centre for the council. Located on Royal Parade, the building was granted Grade II listed status three years ago after being proposed by the Twentieth Century Society (TCS).
The decision to grant listed status has led to problems for the council as they try to maintain the building and they feel it may also thwart the sale attempts.
A spokesperson for Plymouth City Council said, "The council has made no secret of the fact it was unhappy with the English Heritage decision to list the Civic Centre in 2007 and the difficulties it presented as a result.
"Since then we have had to carry out repairs and have been working with specialist architects on a feasibility study for the renovation of the building with a view to establishing whether any developers would be interested in buying it.
"We are expecting to market the Civic Centre in the autumn although given the building's problems and its listed status we are not sure of likely demand,” they concluded.
