St Mary’s Wharf, 2025

St Mary’s Wharf is being delivered in well-planned phases, with the next stage requiring an on-site delivery team to be assembled. A tendering process is well underway for the construction programme of St Mary’s Wharf and Native Land is having productive discussions with a selection of trusted contractors. We look forward to sharing more updates in due course.
In the meantime, since completing the demolition phase, Native Land and the wider project team have continued to refine the approved design to deliver the best possible outcome for Guildford town centre, and make the most of this important regeneration opportunity.
The project team is now proposing an amendment to the approved design. You can learn more at stmaryswharf.co.uk/consultation.
The site is monitored with robust security measures including patrols and 24/7 CCTV surveillance. Emergency contact details are clearly displayed on the exterior notice boards. -
Updates will continue to be posted on this website.

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 180 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.
