A builder has hailed a “significant milestone” after kickstarting work on a £12.4 million retirement living scheme.
Esh Construction has officially broken ground on the Clarke Chapman Court estate, in Gateshead.
Based on the footprint of a former library, the venture – designed for people aged 55 and over – will include 43 apartments and 12 bungalows featuring one and two bedrooms.
