Developer Capital&Centric has signed a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) deal with Clegg Construction for its pioneering project to transform a 1960s multi-storey car park into 111 homes,

The Karparc scheme in Newcastle-under-Lyme will start on site this autumn.

In a UK first, the car park conversion will see the brutalist frame reimagined as a new community of one- and two-bedroom apartments. Underneath a striking three-storey atrium, residents will enjoy lush greenery and social spaces including a gym, lounge, mini cinema and social hub.

John Moffat, Joint Managing Director at Capital&Centric, said: “This isn’t your average regeneration. We’re flipping expectations of what’s possible in our towns.

“Signing with Clegg Construction means Karparc is one big step closer, bringing new homes, green spaces and energy to a spot that’s long been overlooked. We can’t wait to get going this autumn.”
