Strange place to create a Spode like scenario, if thats what it is, anyone enlighten me please? We’ve given away a public owned asset in the old warehouse, to a private company based in Manchester who now own it. We’ve then paid them a substantial grant to build a apartment block and shared workspace that they will own and benefit from. |

So basically an accommodation block in the heart of student Ville, we know which way that will go. Surely there are more important issues to spend on than this. |

Looks good, can only be a positive thing for the city if people embrace it A smaller version of the coal drops yard behind Kings Cross station which is a great place www.kingscross.co.uk/coal-drops-yard |

I'm guessing the hope is that rather than a dead, ugly area that wasn't bringing any money into the city, it will now have the opposite effect. The flats and businesses will bring in council tax, which couldn't be said of the previous incarnation. There's soooo many of these in the city a start has to be made.

Where are all the employees, residents and facility users going to park their cars at this new development? Leasing 90 car parking spaces across the road at Wharf Place was mentioned the other year, though that’s still a bit of a squeeze. |

Capital&Centric plans for three sites in Newcastle town centreMidway car park (The Midway)The social impact developers aim to repurpose the tired Midway car park into new homes, kitted out with contemporary amenities and lush green spaces. A stunning three-floor atrium and on-site parking for residents also features. York Place shopping centre (High Street)Capital&Centric want to reboot the, now empty, centre into a vibrant new heart of the town centre and reimagine its main concrete structure. A new music venue and a spacious green public square is proposed, as well as ground level spaces for shops, bars, and cafes, with around 50 apartments located above. Ryecroft (two sites at Ryecroft)Plans for the disused Ryecroft will be split into two parts, including a design-led mixed-use neighbourhood with new apartments, suburban family homes and workspaces. The team have also drawn up plans for a 110-room hotel and new shared community parkland, perfect for pop-up events.

Really appreciate what these guys are doing with the Stoke Station project and hope they take on more. They’ve got a proven track record for regenerating deprived areas. It’s about the only thing that gets me excited about this city. The Goods yard is really taking shape now |

The place is desperate for regeneration, and a project like the Goods Yard is a good start. I've always thought Newcastle town centre could be a lovely little area with the right development. It's crying out for green space, eateries and cafes to bring people back, and hopefully, on the back of that, more shops can open. Those three sites are huge developments so will obviously be a long way off but at least it seems to be happening. |

I agree, I don’t get the initial negativity and there is sure to be further negativity from some stubborn fuckers. I’m sure they have their reasons and are possibly more informed than you or I but we desperately need some regeneration, any regeneration to make this city more attractive |

More shops will not open unless bespoke shops offering either something different or higher quality (or both) than can be bought from Amazon That is possible mind Imo Newcastle needs to do whatever it can to support it's only good news story Keele University What do they need? |

I think the aim is to bring in a more bespoke shopping experience. This will of course depend on rental costs. Just give it a chance, it should be embraced and if you look at their portfolio of projects you will see they have by and large been very successful. Staffs Uni is another success story as well |

Putting more people into the town centre will only benefit Newcastle. |

Putting more people into the town centre will only benefit Newcastle. Yes but it needs to be creative which is what the proposals sound like More public amenities (I don't mean toilets), just not basic shop units as that model is dead |
