Download brochure What you see before you is a blank canvas onto which a work of art is being created. It is the masterplan that will re-shape the historic Middlesbrough Dock Basin in spectacular fashion. Hotels, commercial space, office space, leisure facilities and apartments will all soon rise up from this once industrious place. Over 13 phases, dramatic new forms and structures will take shape. Like the distinctive ‘Sugar Cubes’, each six to eight storeys high, each individually designed using distinctive materials, layouts and shapes. They will exhibit unique character, diversity and consider the need for flexible living space solutions for their inhabitants.

Three tall buildings named ‘The Skirts’ will reach as high as 15 storeys above the docks. These mesmerising structures are the very embodiment of everything modern and stylish today. A closer look at the plans reveals that every part of this development has been carefully considered. The way people move around and interact with their space, how easy it is to park your car, use public transport, ride your bike, even the best place to moor your boat (should you have one).
