Tyneside housing development makes waves overseas in hopes of summer completion

A Tyneside housing development set to be completed this summer has attracted international interest.

Work is currently underway at Steenberg’s Yard at Newcastle’s Lower Ouseburn Valley to create 28 two and three bedroomed luxury duplex apartments, all with outdoor terraces.

PfP Igloo - which is building the homes – has revealed that 60 per cent of them have already been reserved, with enquiries from as far away as Italy.

Steenberg’s Yard is being created by PfP Igloo – which was also behind the nearby Malings development in conjunction with Homes England and Newcastle City Council.

Jan Dale, director of executive estate agents, Urban Base, commented: “We had people in touch who want to come back to the North East, including mums and dads looking at the properties for their children who want to return to the area.

“At the same time they’ve also got a huge amount of appeal to people who may want to downsize but still live close to the city centre while enjoying everything the Ouseburn has to offer.”
