Goods Yard

A new neighbourhood of 174 design-led apartments, 30,000 sq ft of workspace and commercial space for bars, eateries, coffee shops, stores and workspace alongside a new lush, green public square with a direct link to Stoke-on-Trent’s west coast main line rail station.

A brick vaulted warehouse, once used to store goods passing from canal to rail, is being re-purposed into unique work and leisure spaces. In addition, a café bar and restaurant in the former rail signal box will add to the attraction of this stand-out development.

Capital&Centric is on the hunt for creative businesses and the best independent bars, eateries and stores to set up shop at Goods Yard. There’s a mix of spaces available across four beautiful buildings, including the locally listed Vaults Warehouse, the Victorian Signal Box, the new Pavilion and on the ground floor of the industrial-style residential new-build.

Ranging from 1,200 sq ft up to 14,265 sq ft, each unit is packed with character, from original brickwork to exposed concrete soffits. There’s also loads of space to spill out on to the lush public square and canal side jetty.

Goods Yard will be a major destination for residents, locals and visitors. This is your chance to be one of the first to set the scene for the new era of Stoke-on-Trent.
