Vaux: A vision for the future of the City of Sunderland
This flagship project is at the heart of Sunderland arc's ambition and is fundamental to the economic and physical regeneration of the City. It represents a major opportunity to re-unite Sunderland City Centre and the River Wear and bring over 3,000 jobs and homes into Central Sunderland.
The Vaux site is a key gateway to the City with spectacular views over the River Wear. It represents an unrivalled opportunity to create a dramatic and long-lasting community.
Vaux will become a high quality office location and will also bring up to 1,000 new homes into the heart of Sunderland. Plans also include two prestigious hotels, restaurants and a range of shops set under a dramatic glazed canopy.
The original Masterplan for Vaux Village, designed by internationally renowned architect Piers Gough CBE and Andrew Daws of CZWG, aspires to create a thriving community, with a pedestrian footbridge across the River Wear, linking to Stadium Village, home to Sunderland's Premiership football ground The Stadium of Light.
Giving local people a real sense of ownership, this exciting new development will be a powerful symbol of the drive and creativity of the entire North East of England.
