Launch of new homes at Smith's Dock imminent
Joint venture partners Places for People and Urban Splash are preparing for the launch of Smith’s Dock, an exciting new residential proposition for North Shields.
North East agent Sanderson Young has been appointed to handle sales of the first ever homes at the scheme; bringing to market 34 hoUSes, a unique modular housing concept which offers customers a choice of layouts within either two or three storey properties of up to 1,500 sq ft.
Speaking of Sanderson Young’s appointment, Urban Splash residential director Guy Ackernley said: “It is really rewarding for the collective team to see work begin at the Smith’s Dock scheme, breathing new life into a beautiful, historic site that has so much potential to become a great new place to live.
“Appointing Sanderson Young is the next stage of our journey, and we’re thrilled to find a partner who knows the local area inside out and understands what house buyers in the community are looking for – fantastically designed, waterfront homes in a great location.”
Added Duncan Young of Gosforth-headquartered Sanderson Young, which was established in 1999 and is one of the region’s leading estate agents and property consultancies, with four branches across the North East. “We are delighted to be working with Places for People and Urban Splash. This is an absolutely unique market proposition; a beautiful waterfront site with stunning homes – the design of which will bowl customers over.
“We know people have been very excited about what’s going to be created at the newly redeveloped Smith’s Dock and it’s great to be unveiling hoUSe – a new, radical to shake up the new build market in the region.”
Planning consent from North Tyneside Council was received last year for the first 34 hoUSes which will sit in an area of the development known as the Plateau. Meanwhile, in January, planning was secured for the space at the front of the site, where 80 new apartments at the Smokehouses will be created. Ultimately, the scheme will result in a total of 815 new homes and a number of public realm spaces along the waterfront.
Concluded Mary Parsons, Places for People Group director: “It’s great to see Smith’s Dock coming to life; pressing ahead with works on site coupled with the appointment of a local agent are testament to the pace at which this scheme is now moving and we look forward to welcoming the first residents to their new homes early next year.”
Prices for hoUSe will be announced in autumn 2016. For enquiries about purchasing opportunities please contact 0191 2130033 at Sanderson Young.
