Kier Property has been chosen to develop Gateshead Council’s GQ2 site, on the back of its elevated pedestrian street proposal.
Gateshead Council chose Kier Property from a shortlist of four developers to create a major mixed-use development on the vacant site next to The Sage Gateshead. Kier’s proposals were ‘the most successful in accommodating the level changes across the site, by providing a meandering elevated pedestrian street through the development, rather than excessive use of steps’.
Currently a temporary car park, the development site is recognised as one of the most desirable pieces of development land in the Northeast.
