Goods Yard
A council-owned site overlooking the Trent and Mersey Canal, the Goods Yard is excellently located at the gateway to the city, a short stroll from Stoke Station, Staffordshire University and Stoke town with the city centre a mile away. This is a priority regeneration scheme within the Stoke Station Masterplan, which forms part of the city’s Transforming Cities Fund programme. With £16m secured from Levelling Up funding, plans are to create a vibrant micro-neighbourhood that’s packed full of design features to restore and bring the space alive and transform tired industrial buildings to a lively urban quarter for people to call home and spend time.
Capital & Centric was appointed as development partner in September 2022. Bowmer and Kirkland is the principal contractor and work began on site later that month to bring forward this landmark project which is estimated to be completed in Spring 2025.
