New partnership revealed to deliver Ganges site in Shotley Gate
A new partnership has been forged to deliver the development site at the former HMS Ganges site, with work due to start in earnest in the new year.
Wavensmere Homes have teamed up with Galliard Homes to build 385 homes, retails units, on the 60-acre development, which they plan to call Barrelman's Point.
There will also be 9,359 square metres of new and converted commercial and leisure premises in a new commercial centre which will include a grocer, retail space, a gymnasium and children’s play areas.
The joint venture will also work with Clague Architects, to preserve and restore several designated Royal Navy heritage assets including the Grade II listed ceremonial mast, Grade II listed entrance gates, a mid-19th century fort and two Martello towers.
Work is due to start on the first phase of the Ganges site in the first quarter of next year with an estimated four to five year phased build programme.
Wavensmere and Galliard are planning to bring forward the restoration of the mast, the parade ground area and Nelson Hall, which they aim to use as a show room.
James Dickens, managing director at Wavensmere Homes, said: “Wavensmere Homes has a proven track record in restoring historic buildings to their former glory, a skill-set which will add significant value to Barrelman’s Point and one of the reasons we have joined the partnership.
