Middlesbrough considers land transfer for Gresham regeneration

Middlesbrough Council is reviewing a proposal to transfer land in Gresham to the Middlesbrough Development Corporation (MDC) to advance a major regeneration project. Plans include a 200-bed hotel, 238 apartments, and accommodation for 450 students.

The council’s Executive Sub-Committee for Property will assess the transfer, which includes several properties such as the former Crown pub. The move is contingent on MDC providing written assurances regarding the development’s mix and quality.

The land transfer, set at nil value, aligns with efforts to drive economic growth and revitalise the town centre. While broader governance concerns have delayed asset transfers to MDC, the council may proceed voluntarily due to the project’s potential economic benefits. If approved, MDC will assume responsibility for the Crown pub’s maintenance and necessary remediation work.
