Proposals to invest £60m into two towers of housing at the heart of a Newcastle city centre science and business park are set to be unveiled next week.
Newcastle Helix – a 24-acre partnership between Newcastle City Council, Legal & General and Newcastle University – is rapidly taking shape close to the city centre, with office and research space set across a range of buildings including Spark, The Biosphere and the first property to be completed, The Core.
Plans for the site also include hundreds of new homes, to attract and retain a growing talent pool of skilled workers to the region. Now developers are set to forge ahead with housing plans, through the creation of two towering structures which will provide 316 apartments around a new public space.
