New homes at The Rise in Scotswood go on sale this weekend (Saturday March 15th), bringing an end to a decade long wait for the redevelopment of this riverside site.
Part of the biggest housing led redevelopment project in the North East, the properties are the first of 377 being constructed in the initial phase of what will eventually grow to become a sustainable community of up to 1,800 homes.
Set on the banks of the River Tyne, the 66 hectare site is bordered by Armstrong Road to the north, Whitehouse Road to the south, Atkinson Road to the east and Roberts Street/Muswell Hill to the west.
Development plans include a neighbourhood centre, retail and commercial space, parks and public areas. The development will be criss-crossed by green corridors, linking it to the existing neighbourhoods. The homes will benefit from tiered gardens in order to make the best possible use of the naturally sloping site.
