Work is under way on a year-long project to create a £4m residential development of townhouses overlooking the River Tyne in Newcastle.
Regional developer Modo Bloc has appointed Newcastle company Tyneside Developments as the main contractor for The Ropes, which will comprise seven townhouses on St Lawrence Road with balconies looking out onto the Tyne and towards the Ouseburn Valley. The homes been designed by architects Edwards Architecture along with engineering specialist JC Consulting.
As well as using modern materials, the three-bedroomed properties are being built using modern methods of construction, including the use of more sustainable Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs).
