Portsmouth City Council - the 'Council' - with support from its appointed development consultants Mace, Montagu Evans and Vail Williams - is seeking to engage with a cross section of site wide multi-use and specialist developers in respect of its plans for regeneration of the City Centre North (CCN) strategic area.

The Council anticipates partnering with a lead developer to deliver the scheme across multiple phases, and potentially a range of uses. The Council is also interested in speaking with specialist developers of specific uses to test their feasibility. The Council considers that the following specialist uses could be of relevance to CCN development:

• Multi-family Build to Rent (BTR) / Co-living 
• Single family BTR
• Extra care
• Key worker housing
• Purpose Built Student Accommodation
• Hotel
• Offices

The Council is aiming to transform the northern part of the city centre. The plans will see the redevelopment of the former Tricorn and Sainsbury's sites. 

The plan focuses on making the best use of this large area by creating new homes, new walking and cycling routes and a large open green space stretching from St. Agatha's Church to All Saints' Church. By bringing more residents into the area, the project should not only deliver more homes for local people, but also more customers for shops, restaurants and other businesses in the city centre.

The project will support and address growing city centre housing market demand for a quality product with mixed tenure options.
