ELDON SQUARE
ELDON SQUARE
The radical redevelopment of Newcastle’s Eldon Square is reinventing this North East shrine to retail.
General Information
Delivered in three phases, the redevelopment of Eldon Square improves and extends the landmark centre to a total of 120,000m2.
Following reconfiguration and extension works and the delivery of a new bus interchange, the final element of the project involved the redevelopment of the site’s Southern Gateway.
Anchored by a four-storey department store and with room for more than 20 large stores along a wide two-storey mall, this phase of works also delivers street level shops and restaurants.

To accommodate the retention of a magnificent Georgian façade, an economic temporary works scheme was developed by our design group to support and brace the mall’s existing floors while a new steel frame was erected and tied into the structure.
By using predominantly the same core
construction team for Eldon Square as that which has worked with
the client at Gateshead’s MetroCentre since 2001, we have
maintained an excellent working relationship.
