Homes England seeks Forth Yards delivery partner
The initial scope extends to around 1,100 homes on the agency-owned Quayside West site in Newcastle, with the possibility of this increasing to around 2,500 homes via additional acquisitions.
The 52-acre regeneration site sits immediately next to the river and is next to Newcastle Central Station.
Plans for the £950m site also include up to 161,500 sq ft of commercial space.
Network Rail owns Forth Goods Yards and Homes England acquired the strategically important Quayside West site, at the heart of Forth Yards, in 2024.
Homes England is working alongside Newcastle City Council, Network Rail, and the North East Combined Authority on the site, with NECA committed to funding early infrastructure works to widen the main access road into the wider site.
Homes England itself will deliver a package of planning, enabling, and de-risking works on Quayside West, along with further land assembly and the delivery of strategic infrastructure on the wider Forth Yards site.
The agency said it was looking for a delivery partner with place-making capabilities, a commitment to a long-term partnership, and a willingness to ‘invest and take risk in the success of Forth Yards’.
