About the scheme
Tileyard North, a 135,000 square ft site compromised of 5 abandoned Victorian Mill buildings, is being prepped for regeneration to put Wakefield on the map as the ‘new creative destination in the North of England.’ The regeneration plan will convert the space into a mixed-use, inclusive, creative and cultural cluster, with a focus on commercial, community and education. Tileyard North is situated directly opposite The Hepworth Gallery, titled “Museum of the Year 2018” and “The most significant and exciting place for sculpture in Europe”. The site will offer creative companies studio, production and office spaces as well as housing a higher education centre, contemporary street food, bars, restaurants, live event spaces and a boutique hotel.
