Vaux vision
CGI TO SHOWCASE FORMER BREWERY SITE
This is the dazzling vision for the future of the Vaux site as work gathers pace on the former brewery land in Sunderland city centre.
Just months before the first building on Vaux, The Beam opens its doors, the team behind its development has released a CGI video of its vision for the site, offering glimpses of the new public sector hub, and other “pop-up” spaces that will occupy the site.
The team at Siglion, the organisation leading on the redevelopment of Vaux, said it gives a unique glimpse of how the city centre development will progress.
Plans were revealed for the second development on Vaux – a public sector hub to replace Sunderland Civic Centre – in January, with a final decision expected to be taken by the council on the relocation over the next few weeks.
It would see almost 1,000 members of staff join other public sector colleagues in a modern, user-centred space that would bring together a range of services to better support people in the city.
Siglion chief executive John Seager said: “This video gives a real sense of what Vaux will be like as a place – where people will work, live and play.
“There is a definite sense that we are starting to realise the vision and ambition that exists for Vaux, delivering a place that people in the Sunderland can be proud of and somewhere investors will find equally attractive.”
The three-minute video is being used to market Vaux to potential investors, showing them the site’s proximity to city centre amenities and its expansive views over the riverside.
Councillor Graeme Miller, leader of Sunderland City Council and chairman of the Siglion board, said: “This video is a fantastic showcase for Vaux and for Sunderland at large.”
