South Shields

We’ve been working with partner, South Tyneside Council, on the £100m regeneration masterplan, that will repurpose a key area of the town centre into an innovative cultural, leisure and retail destination close to the banks of the River Tyne.

The wider scheme includes a series of statement buildings, such as ‘The Word’ – the multi-award-winning National Centre for the Written Word– and the £21m state-of-the-art South Shields interchange, which has brought together the town’s Metro and bus station, with improved accessibility, alongside commercial space, a cinema, library, retail and leisure facilities as well as a quality hotel and much-needed homes.
