Manx National Heritage has secured a tenant for the former Baillie Scott Police Station in Castletown.
Expressions of interest and proposals for the future use and Lease of the building were invited late last year.
Applicants were required to demonstrate that their proposal is economically sustainable, as well as creating community benefit, including an opportunity for continued public access to the building.
Marlinspike Properties Limited has been announced as the successful bidder.
Edmund Southworth, Director of Manx National Heritage said: “MNH is pleased to confirm that we have been able to identify a prospective tenant for the building. The successful bidder’s proposal will facilitate the repair and refurbishment of the Baillie Scott Police Station and subject to planning consent, provide for future public access to the building, as well as providing the potential for future community use of part of the space in the building."
"The planned development in Castletown will provide a positive social and economic benefit to the town, with the additional benefit of substantial investment in essential repairs to the roof and the removal of non-historic internal additions."
