Ochre Yards

Ochre Yards is an award winning development of the former Greenesfield Railway Works, set on the south bank of the Tyne, between the Queen Elizabeth and High Level Bridges, benefiting from the views across Newcastle.

We prepared the original proposals for Bellway Homes and then worked with EDAW, the international planning consultancy; we are now implementing the scheme in phases.

On completion, the scheme will provide over 600 apartments, including ‘City Bases’ for commuters. These are accommodated in nine new buildings, with 75 being created by converting the original Grade II Listed buildings, including the original engine workshop which include luxury ‘triplex’ apartments designed around an open plan over 3 floor levels.
