Shropshire Homes have confirmed they have completed the purchase of a large site on Monkmoor Road in Shrewsbury.
The site, referred to as Whitehall, includes a range of historic and listed buildings within the former walled garden of the 16th-century Whitehall mansion and a 1960s office block.
The five-storey building was built next to the historic mansion in 1968 and has been previously used by NHS and DWP but now stands vacant.
