The Riverside Sunderland masterplan will provide 1,000 homes, one million ft2 of commercial space, as well as parks and public areas. New infrastructure includes a new footbridge across the River Wear, connecting the former Vaux site with the Sheepfolds. The scheme will reinvent Sunderland city centre and bring focus back to the historic River Wear. City Hall is a catalyst for further development and regeneration of Riverside Sunderland and the wider Sunderland city centre.
Our team has been involved from the start, first securing planning approval for Vaux and then the wider site. Our engineering teams have played a central role in defining the masterplan and phasing across the whole scheme.
Gary Marshall, Partner commented, “The transformation of the Vaux is easily one of the most ambitious regeneration projects in the UK. The masterplan has grown extensively since its inception and we are proud to continue our work on future developments."
We are delighted to see our work expand from the Vaux Regeneration project to the strategic masterplan development that will re-invigorate the whole of central Sunderland and secure a prosperous future for the area.
