Adderstone Group has submitted updated plans for a proposed 124-apartment and commercial scheme at Newcastle’s Quayside.

The 1.5-acre site, located adjacent to St Ann’s Quay, would be one of the last to be developed at the site and has been dubbed North Shore.

Having worked closely with Ryder Architecture, Adderstone Group has proposed a stepped, landmark envelope comprising five towers, varying between ten and 16 floors.

The updated application includes 122 two-bed and two one-bed apartments, and a 4,550 sq ft commercial unit.

The proposed scheme incorporates a number of private roof gardens and quay level gardens, and includes provisions for 151 car parking spaces.

It is estimated that more than 400 jobs would be created as a result of the project; 160 during construction and 240 through supply chain. The scheme would also contribute £2.7m in economic output.

Mark Clasper, director at Ryder Architecture, said: “The latest amendments address feedback following an extended consultation exercise and highly constructive input from North East Design Review Panel. 

“Ryder is delighted to be working with Adderstone Group on this scheme which aims to deliver a high quality architectural solution, providing exceptional living and communal accommodation on Newcastle’s iconic Quayside. It is a considered response to the significant physical and geotechnical challenges.”

Ian Baggett, founder and chief executive Adderstone Group, added: “Our investment and development strategy is based on our conviction that Newcastle will become the fastest growing city in the Northern Powerhouse.

“The team has worked very hard on these projects and it makes us all very proud to be in a position to make such a difference in our home city.”
