This was an opportunity to re-ignite the area with the vibrancy, density of activity and charisma that the shipbuilding industries formerly brought to the town, while also presenting a unique opportunity to create a desirable 24/7 mixed use district for living and working.

With the International Passenger Terminal located just 500 metres away in North Shields, the site sits at a prominent gateway to Europe. An accessible and bold proposition will create a thriving destination for the people of South Shields, integrating with the surrounding urban fabric while creating a high quality and sustainable place in its own right.

This will be a place where people will want to live, work and play. Regeneration of this strategic site will create a vibrant business and residential quarter alongside a riverside park and high quality public realm, offering a destination that provides a balanced work-life environment.

The graving docks and the heritage they embody are a valuable asset to the site; combined with visionary, respectful and forward-thinking design we believe that the riverside can become a distinctive, innovative and bustling new quarter for South Shields and a destination with a draw from across the region, and further afield.
