The property industry in the North has been decidedly busy this past year, with numerous high-profile projects completing. But there were three in particular that dominated headlines.

The assistant director for capital investment and growth at Newcastle City Council was presented with the accolade on 18 December. 

Place North has partnered with MIPIM organiser RX to spotlight the North of England, with opportunities for local authorities and their joint venture partners in the private sector to elevate themselves at the global property convention and showcase what the North has to offer.

Next year will be another lean one for new-build office development across the North as encouraging rental growth fails to outpace build costs and investor uncertainty keeps yields soft.

If given the green light, the development will be located on the former St George’s Hospital site and comprise two-, three-, four-, and five-bed energy efficient houses. 

The regional contractor has been appointed by Sunderland City Council to lead on the first phase of Riverside Park, situated at the heart of the Riverside Sunderland regeneration masterplan.

Councillors have given reserved matters approval for 316 homes on land between the A689 and Brierton Lane.
