Together with our JV partner, PATRIZIA, and on behalf of Gateshead Council, we are delighted to announce that we have appointed Lendlease to deliver The Sage International Conference Centre at Gateshead Quays, which follows swiftly on after planning was approved by Gateshead Council for the revised plans for the 61,440m riverside scheme.
Enabling works have been taking place over the last two years and Lendlease plan to make a start on site later this year.
Russell WBHO appointment announced
We have appointed Russell WBHO to construct the 344 bedroom, dual branded hotel at Baltic Quarter on Gateshead Quayside which will be operated by Accor under its Novotel and ibis brands.
The hotel will be located on the corner of Quarryfield Road and Hawks Road and will support the wider city region as well as accommodating future visitors to The Sage International Conference Centre and Arena which is being developed adjacent to the site.
We’re looking forward to making a swift start on site and seeing the creation of another valuable asset for the Quayside area.

Construction of the 9 storey hotel will start to take shape later this year on a vacant half acre site at the corner of Quarryfield Road and Hawks Road, and will feature a residents’ gym, restaurants, bars and business meeting rooms.
