St Mary’s Wharf will deliver new homes in Guildford town centre, together with riverside gardens, restaurants and business space.
Key features of the development include:
Opening up the River Wey by creating public spaces including a new town square and a biodiverse landscaped riverside walk, providing direct access from the High Street to the river for the first time in 50 years.
Developing two new sustainable residential buildings with retail and restaurants at ground floor, providing 183 new private and affordable homes, shops, cafés, and bars.
The buildings, designed to respect the surrounding heritage of the area, will be all-electric and net zero carbon in operation.
Repurposing brownfield land to provide new, centrally located homes, helping to alleviate pressures on the surrounding Green Belt, reinvigorate the Guildford town centre and reduce car dependency.
Enhancing local biodiversity, with 50 new trees, extensive planting and green roofs.
The development has committed to contribute more than £3m to improvements in Guildford, including support for the NHS, education, highways, open space and riverside infrastructure.
St Mary’s Wharf is also expected to create more than 415 construction jobs and up to 83 jobs within the development, as well as contributing an estimated £1.7 million a year to the local economy.
