The construction of Bellway’s new Modello apartments in Gateshead is nearing completion, creating an attractive new street scene in the Gateshead Quayside area.
This development of 98 properties has transformed what was once the site of a railway goods yard, a short walk from the Tyne Bridge and Newcastle city centre.
Three four-storey apartment buildings are set in landscaped grounds which include a children’s play area. Residents have moved into 41 of the apartments and all but 14 of the homes have now been sold. Construction work on the third and final apartment building is expected to finish in September, with the final homes due to be ready to move into later the same month.
Bellway North East Sales Director Emma Chesterton said: “We have transformed what was a brownfield site into a highly desirable place to live.
“The opportunity to move into a contemporary, energy-efficient and high-quality apartment just a short walk from Newcastle city centre is incredibly appealing.
“Buyers have been attracted by the convenience of the location, the ease of the transport links, and the quality of homes. Those who have moved in are enjoying the modern city lifestyle and the feeling that everything they need is so accessible.
“The build is progressing very well, and it is satisfying to see the vision we had for this site coming to fruition.”

Modello features 87 two-bedroom properties each with their own parking space and 11 one-bedroom homes, with a selection of apartments remaining for sale
.
The new homes are within walking distance of Newcastle Central Station and Gateshead Metro Station. Located within the Bridges Conservation area and part of the former Greenesfield Railway Works regeneration, the development has been carefully designed to reflect the Victorian industrial heritage of the area.
One and two-bedroom apartments are currently available to reserve, with prices starting from £169,995. For more information, call 0191 622 2339 or visit https://www.bellway.co.uk/new-homes/north-east/modello.
