SIGNIFICANT INTEREST IN CITY SPIRES

Newport City Council reports that there has already "been significant interest shown by high level companies in taking space within the City Spires development." More information will be made available by developers Modus shortly.

The £80 million Modus City Spires development, which includes shops, offices, a 112 bedroom hotel, apartments with panoramic views and an 880 space car park, will become the tallest building in the city. The ambitious 29 storey complex will eclipse the 242ft Transporter Bridge by 88 ft, and will be almost double the height of the 173-ft-tall Chartist Tower.The development will see the total transformation of the current Cambrian Centre and Railway Street area. It is seen as an important development in ensuring and underpinning the regeneration of Newport as a developing City, it is a striking, innovative and an iconic proposal. Work is due to start in April with completion in time for the Ryder Cup.
