Featured Development
Living at Riverside Sunderland
Award-winning homes of the future, creating vibrant sustainable communities that boast the best of city life, with stunning views and green spaces offering the perfect launchpad for urban adventures and aspirational lifestyles. 1,000 low-carbon homes will line the banks of the River Wear, diversifying housing choice and increasing the city centre population.
Vaux
This modern, urban development of 135 homes includes townhouses, maisonettes, apartments and a cluster of Homes of 2030 designed to offer high-quality living for generations to come. The scheme is located on the site of the former Vaux Brewery which is rapidly becoming a vibrant business and cultural quarter, and offers panoramic views over the river as well as access to open green spaces.
Farringdon Row
Facing east towards Galley’s Gill with views down the river towards Wearmouth Bridge, 165 high-quality homes will be developed – connected to the Vaux neighbourhood via the Gill Bridge. The Farringdon Row development will benefit from excellent connectivity to main transport links, local retail parks and nearby parkland.
Ayre’s Quay
As the smallest neighbourhood being developed within Riverside Sunderland, Ayre’s Quay will be a close-knit community of 80 modern homes on the banks of the Wear. Its location gives dramatic views over the river across to the Stadium of Light, and a variety of pathways, retail facilities and historic pubs are only minutes’ walk away.
Sheepfolds
Steeped in history, Sheepfolds has a rich industrial past which is now being reimagined to create a unique new community of over 600 properties. This mixed-use scheme, located on the north of the river next to the Stadium of Light, will include modern townhouses, apartments, maisonettes and family homes, and will offer a variety of mixed-use community facilities for all residents to enjoy.
