Stoke-on-Trent City Council is working with developer Capital & Centric to create a new urban quarter next to the city’s main train station.The plans will involve the Swift House site, which is owned by the council, being renamed The Goods Yard and transformed with around 180 new homes, a 150-bed hotel, 25,000 sq ft of workspaces and 10,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space.The proposals include demolishing the existing building but keeping and reimagining its locally listed, vaulted basement, which historically served as a goods yard and interchange between the railway and the canal.It will be opened up to the public as a workspace and leisure venue that will be known as Vaults Warehouse. While plans continue to be drawn up, the intention is to attract pop-up operators to the site as soon as possible.
