Genr8 Kajima Regeneration Limited (GKRL) have been announced as the granted preferred bidder by Stoke-on-Trent City Council has for a multi-million-pound project.
GKRL are intending to work with partners to deliver a range of residential tenures across Etruscan Square and other development sites across the city – including PfP Igloo, who GKRL are working in joint venture with elsewhere in the UK.
Plans will move forward once the formal selection process is complete and will include a mix of high quality, affordable residential housing as well as leisure and commercial opportunities to bring new business and people into the city centre.
Surveys and investigations will be carried out later this year which will enable the preparation of the site for development in 2026, with construction activity to deliver new homes targeted to commence in 2027.
Etruscan Square is one of the Midlands’ largest cleared city centre regeneration sites spanning around seven acres.
The development site, which is supported by £20 million of Government funding, was once home to the old bus station and former East-West Precinct and lies adjacent to the city’s principal retail centre, next to Hanley Bus Station and near to Smithfield and the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery.
