Transforming the town centre and quays

Gateshead Town Centre

We're making more improvements to the Railway Quarter with new public spaces, so it's not just the gateway to Gateshead but also a must-visit destination. The busy Gateshead Interchange will be modernised and improved with housing, public spaces and opportunities for enterprise. And the jewel in the crown will be the complete renovation and restoration of our magnificent Old Town Hall - by renowned regeneration specialists Capital & Centric - into modern homes and independent shops.

Southern Gateway

Demolishing the Gateshead Flyover and transforming High Street South will be the springboard for the creation of a well-connected urban quarter which every resident can be proud of. The Southern Gateway will create 1,000 new homes, including council housing, green spaces and community facilities.

Gateshead Quays and Baltic Quarter

The Baltic Quarter has potential for 1,500 homes and 20 acres of council-owned employment land, powered by renewable energy from the UK's largest urban solar farm and our innovative minewater system. At Gateshead Quays, we're aiming for a vibrant, leisure destination that creates long-term value for Gateshead and the wider North East region.
