MASTERPLAN
Our Vision for
JESMOND THREE SIXTY
“To reinvent a run down and underused office estate and create a vibrant ‘place’ where people can live, work, stay and play; developing a landmark destination on the edge of the urban core that acts as a way marker to the city centre.”
Following the significant progress made to date, Jomast’s vision is now to complete the last phase of their regeneration proposals.
To achieve a truly sustainable future for Jesmond Three Sixty, we need to realise development on the remaining vacant plots across the estate (including the site of the former Quaker Meeting House, which was derelict for a number of years and finally demolished in 2018, and the vacant surface level car park adjacent to the Central Motorway), and ensure the entire development is accessible and served by a range of transport options.
Key to the current plans is a comprehensive scheme of hard and soft landscaping across the whole of Jesmond Three Sixty, which will unify and tie together the public realm across the estate, and enhance the accessibility and permeability of the estate. The landscaping will also seek to create a visual connection through the site, promoting safe movement and establish a new route between Jesmond and the City Centre.
A green envelope of planting will cocoon the site, including the creation of attractive arrival viewpoints to the south-west and north-east.

An open outdoor space, bordered by planting beds, will be introduced within the central courtyard to create a lush, green public space at the heart of the development and provide opportunities for outdoor activities. This area will act as the main axis route through the development, connecting the northern gateway, activity zone and commercial zone within Jesmond Three Sixty.
The area surrounding The Carriage will also be enhanced with high quality new planting and surfacing, and the existing wall with self-colonised planting will be retained.
Site branding, varied planting schemes and the introduction of outdoor social spaces will physically and visually connect and tie together the whole site.
