Newgate Court, Newcastle
Project Description
McAleer & Rushe are onsite with the exciting regeneration of a circa 1.75-acre city centre site and demolishment of the former 1960’s shopping centre.
The consented mixed use redevelopment comprises of 575 purpose built student beds over 9-storeys in a courtyard arrangement along with 20,000 sq ft of ground level large format retail / leisure or restaurant space.
This £100m investment in the heart of Newcastle Upon Tyne will support some 780 jobs directly through the construction period and a net longer term gain of up to 153 new full time jobs on the site. The inclusion of modern retail and leisure space on ground and basement levels on Clayton Street and Newgate Street will attract highly significant interest from a range of favourable brands due to the highly prominent city centre location which will further the associated long-term economic and employment benefits for the city.
