Stoke-on-Trent City Council has given a green light for the construction of Capital & Centric’s Goods Yard later this year.
The approved plans feature 174 new homes, workspaces for start-ups, shops, bars, cafes and a public square. The £60m project is one of three in Stoke-in-Trent backed by the government’s Levelling Up Fund.
Tim Heatley, co-founder of Capital&Centric, said: “Businesses are already getting in touch with us about setting up shop here and have started thinking about how they could use the spaces – that’s before we have even commenced construction.”
The Goods Yard will replace the former Swift House, located next to Stoke-on-Trent train station – making it HS2-connected – and on the doorstep of Staffordshire University, the Trent and Mersey Canal and the A500.
