Urban Regeneration
Goods Yard
A priority strategic regeneration site, part of the Stoke Station Gateway Masterplan. Levelling Up Funding of £16m secured to support early development phases.
A Stoke-on-Trent City Council owned site overlooking the Trent & 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, work is well underway to create a vibrant micro-neighbourhood that’s packed full of design features to restore and bring the space alive and transform from tired industrial buildings to a lively urban quarter for people to call home and spend time. Goods Yard is a prime opportunity for a 150 bed hotel development and for future occupiers.
