Although that is nice, it doesn't really get the blood flowing in the nether regions. Surely there are better developments than that you can show us.

Agreed. Will be a great place. lets hope the council use it and put some good events on.
Its a shame that the pubs and shops from boulavard downwards couldnt have been bought and flattened mind.

£800m would sort out Vaux, Farringdon Row, Sheepfolds stonkingly. It's very positive news.
The Vaux site will be the key site, but they will also be looking at Seaburn, Chapelgarth and Holmeside, as well as the above.
Typical narrow-mindedness.

They've done loads of other stuff......Terminal 5, the Olympic park/buildings, etc
Oh shit.....we're fucked
That's £800m for Carillion.....that's what they expect to make out of it. The development will cost much more

The interior looks nice, the outside though look f***ing horrendous. Looks like they've took inspiration from:
£800 million?

Hadn't tealised that.
To be fair the idols building isn't that bad, and if the boozers improved they would be a canny addition to that area.

"This innovative contract, which will initially focus on the redevelopment of key sites across the City, is potentially worth up to £800 million to Carillion over the 20 year life of the regeneration programme."
So they invest £100 million and claw back £800 mil over the next 20 years?

The biggest decision that will drive the majority of new developments in Sunderland is the new Court complex. If this is given the go ahead, it will bring new construction jobs (it would be a high end major contract) and major law firms would set up in close proximity (I.e. The vaux site).
Look at Newcastles law courts and the law firms that have set up close by - Dickinson dees, ward hadaway etc. this brings people and jobs to the city centre. If another large brand then relocated to the vaux site, the rest would fall into place.
The biggest worry that I have is that Carillion are a ruthless contractor, and have terrible payment terms for the supply chain.
