One of Newcastle’s highest buildings will be transformed into city centre apartments following a £20m funding deal.
At 200ft high, Cale Cross House is the 10th tallest building in Newcastle and it provided office space for a number of businesses from the 1970s until it was snapped up by developers in 2021.
Now Manchester-based Beech Holdings will put plans into action to turn the block into housing, with 241 apartments spread across the 18-storey building. The firm first revealed redevelopment plans for the tower two years ago, with the facelift set to include stripping Cale Cross House of its aluminium cladding, which does not comply with post-Grenfell fire safety rules for residential homes.
