Morgan Sindall to develop £100m South Shields retail quarter

Morgan Sindall said South Tyneside council had appointed the Muse Developments as the sole developer of the £100m South Shields 365 town centre renewal.

The South Shields 365 plan comprises a new retail quarter in the Fowler Street West area, including a  new cinema, library, as well as 175,000 square foot of retail and leisure facilities including a food store, as well as a hotel.

Work is due to commence summer 2014 and is expected to take six years to complete.

John Morgan, Morgan Sindall chief executive said: “We have a strong track record in delivering complex, mixed-use regeneration schemes and we are delighted to be working alongside South Tyneside council to revitalise South Shields town centre.

“This important project will see the creation of a vibrant retail and leisure quarter as well as the development of new homes and will unlock new opportunities for residents, businesses and visitors to the area.”
