Etruscan Square

A priority strategic city centre regeneration project with £20m Levelling Up funding secured and is designated as a Homes England Partnership site.

A 7.12 acre council owned site, located south-east of Stoke-on-Trent’s prinicpal shopping area and adjacent to the main bus station, this is a prime investment and development opportunity. The vision is stunning – a leisure led mixed -use development – it will be catalytic in reinvigorating and bringing viability back to the City Centre as well as attracting new businesses to the high street.

Significantly, it complements the cultural investment made with the opening of the magnificent Spitfire Gallery in September 2021 and the continuous regeneration of Smithfield into a thriving business quarter, which are both within close proximity to Etruscan Square. Essential site demolition and initial remediation works are well underway, and planning applications for Etruscan Square Phase 1 (including significant infrastructure and new housing proposals) were submitted in December 2022. This is a landmark scheme, which has already secured £20m of Levelling Up funding and the City Council is inviting interest from developers specialising in high quality urban residential and venue/arena opportunities to transform one of the Midlands’ largest cleared city centre brownfield sites.
