Pottery Lane tops out
Phase one of Newcastle’s largest multifamily scheme has reached its highest point, with the 11-storey, 292-home block on track for completion in December 2026.
Developed by Hines and delivered by Olympian Homes, the site is located on the River Tyne and within the Forth Yards regeneration area.
Phase two of the 325,000 sq ft project will comprise a six-storey, 227-apartment block set to be delivered in 2027, taking the total to 519 apartments.
As well as a mix of one- and two-bed rental apartments, plans include around 10,000 sq ft of amenity space such as a gym, co-working facilities, two roof terraces, and private dining events space.
The buildings will be powered by air source hear pumps and solar PV, making the all-electric scheme more environmentally friendly and cheaper to run.
Jurrien de Koning, managing director at Hines UK said: “We’ve made excellent progress on the scheme since beginning construction and this represents an important milestone as we remain on track to complete the first building later next year.
“Newcastle is such a dynamic city with rapidly growing tech and innovation sectors, thriving academic environment and a range of ambitious new development projects.
“We are excited to be part of the city’s vibrant growth through the delivery of new high quality, sustainable housing at an outstanding waterfront location.”
