Middlehaven Shortlist

11 Feb 2005

Tees Valley Regeneration has announced the shortlist of six developers seeking to build the first phase of Middlesborough’s Middlehaven, masterplanned by Will Alsop. The developers are Urban Splash; Urban Catalyst / Carillion; Placemakers; KUD; Taylor Woodrow, and LNER Estates.

Joe Docherty, chief executive of Tees Valley Regeneration, was extremely pleased by the response: “We advertised in the national property press for expressions of interest for Middlehaven and are very excited at the quality of applications which we received. These are some of the very best names in the country who have developed some of the most significant and high profile schemes.”

Developers will now put their own interpretation on the masterplan proposals in a design competition. The winner, or winners, will be revealed in April. Sean Egan, project director at Tees Valley Regeneration said “One, two or possibly three developers will be finally chosen to develop the majority of the first phase at Middlehaven.”
