The scheme includes more than 130 homes on the banks of the Wear

The scheme, designed by architects Proctor and Matthews and MawsonKerr, will include 91 houses and 41 flats, and marks the first part of the redevelopment of the Vaux site.

The site is itself just one part of a wider Riverside Sunderland plan designed to create homes for 2,500 people and job locations for 10,000 workers.

Igloo is acting as development manager on behalf of the city council which owns the site.
