New images have been revealed showing how a £170m development with a hotel, housing, bars and restaurants could transform Newcastle City Centre.
Revamped plans for the former Premier Inn Hotel in Newcastle were first unveiled last month at Mipim, the world’s biggest real estate conference. The scheme, called the New Bridge Project, is being spearheaded by property, care and leisure company Gainford Group, which also owns prime hotels and restaurants in Newcastle, including the Vermont and County Hotels, Aveika and Livello, as well as the prominent office scheme Milburn House.
The skyscraping residential tower could provide 185 new homes, alongside a new 150-bedroom hotel, new bars, retail, restaurants and a health club. Gainford Group operates a number of hotels around Newcastle city centre but it has not confirmed whether it would operate this latest project and may well decide to partner with another major hospitality brand who could manage and operate the property.
Director Imran Khaliq said: “Gainford is looking forward to this exciting new project which introduces a brand new gateway into Newcastle city centre. We are proud to create a leading part in the driving force of Newcastle’s growth. Together we are building a city that is not only a destination but a hub for investment, innovation and opportunity.”
