Plynouth City Council has granted approval of the development of the Sugar Quay at Sutton Harbour, with the completion of the key planning approvals.
Sugar Quay, a £60 million, 21-storey building on the eastern side of the harbour, will provide 170 apartments, restaurants and shops and will be a centerpiece development in the regeneration of Plymouth's historic harbourfront, being led by Sutton Harbour Group.
This development will bring significant benefits to the city, its residents and visitors as a result of the development, including a contribution of £3.15 million to social housing and further contributions to local health, education and welfare provision.
Construction is expected to start within the next year, 2023, providing the time required for the finalisation of the construction drawings and specifications, the settling of construction contracts and the completion of the S106 pre-construction provisions. The construction is anticipated to require up to three years for this scale of building.
Sugar Quay has been innovatively designed to act as a sentinel building for the harbour. The layout optimises its unique location, providing a significant increase in public space and space for leisure and retail activities, incorporating extraordinary westerly views to the marina, the Barbican, and the Hoe.
These features at ground level also include improvement to public areas along the east side, with large open areas replacing the current narrow walkways. The Marrowbone slip will be fully integrated with the harbourfront spaces.
The milestone in the Sugar Quay project comes as construction is progressing well on the site of Sutton Harbour Group's nearby Harbour Arch Quay development (HAQ). HAQ will be a striking new addition to the Sutton Harbour waterfront, with a limited collection of 12 two and three bed apartments, in addition to two luxury penthouses, enjoying views over Sutton Harbour Marina and Plymouth Sound.
