Not particularly relevant to St Anns Quay but anotherPRS (private rental scheme) building that is going to stick out on the city skyline. we just came across this proposed development, another PRS (private rental scheme).

“Plans have been submitted for a landmark PRS tower in Newcastle by Surrey-based Stonegate Developments. The plans, designed by architects Faulkner Browns are for a 26-storey tower comprising 162 residential units on Rutherford Street aimed at the private rented sector. The application says the proposed building takes inspiration from other major northern cities such as Manchester and Leeds which have embraced tall buildings successfully”.

It seems that, as in the case of Plot 12, height is necessary to ensure financial viability.
