Serving the Teesside Business Community | 25 Northshore development I to reconnect Stockton with the River Tees n recent months there has been significant investment in Stockton, with the flagship 56-acre Northshore development helping to generate a brand new, vibrant community on the bank of the River Tees. Muse Developments worked alongside the Homes and Communities Agency and Stockton Council to create a high-quality extension to Stockton town centre. Northshore is converting the riverside with the creation of 200 new homes and over 400,000 sq ft of commercial space. Following the success of the residential and office developments, Sanderson Weatherall’s North-East agency team has been appointed alongside joint agents GVA on leisure and retail investment opportunities at Northshore. Further phases of commercial development at Northshore are planned, including the delivery of a new Hampton by Hilton hotel for Stockton which is due to complete in early 2019.
