£200m Middlesbrough accommodation project on show at UKREiiF
The project, which will see the construction of a new hotel, 240 build-to-rent properties, and student accommodation for more than 400 people, was given the go-ahead by the Middlesbrough Development Corporation Planning Board earlier this month.
The development, led by iMpeC and Buccleuch Property in partnership with Middlesbrough Development Corporation, is part of a major regeneration effort in Gresham.
The vision for the project will be unveiled at the UKREiiF event, which will take place in Leeds from May 20 to May 22.
This event will be attended by hundreds of business owners, investors, and organisations.
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said: “This is the biggest investment in Middlesbrough for generations – and it’s showing exactly what can be achieved when we back ambition with action.
“Gresham has been crying out for meaningful regeneration for years – and now, with the support of the Middlesbrough Development Corporation and our partners, we’re delivering just that.
“Unveiling more about this project at UKREiiF puts Middlesbrough on a national stage, showing investors that the town is open for business and full of potential.”
Neil McMillan, iMpeC director, said: “Our Gresham development will be a transformational project for Middlesbrough and we are looking forward to sharing further details of our plans at UKREiiF.
“This event will provide an excellent platform to highlight our vision for Gresham and expand on our proposals for a vibrant and sustainable development which will support the growth of Middlesbrough and revitalise a key town centre location.”
The Combined Authority and its five local authority partners will also be returning to UKREiiF for a third year, showcasing a range of developments across the region.
Representing Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland, and Stockton-on-Tees, the three-day programme will feature opportunities for businesses and investors.
Visitors will learn about the region’s Mayoral Development Corporations, Tees Valley Investment Zone, and Stockton’s vision to develop a new Care and Health Innovation Zone.
