Morgan Sindall Construction has been appointed as the main contractor for the Brunswick Wharf development in Devon, UK.
The project, led by developers Red Earth, is set to revitalise a long-neglected area in Bideford by introducing more than one hundred apartments, a restaurant, six retail units, and a pop-up café.
The project will also include a dual-purpose surface-level car park, serving as an outdoor events space.
Additionally, it will feature a new riverside walk that connects to a public open square and a shared cycling and pedestrian path connecting to North Devon’s Tarka Trail, making the Brunswick Wharf accessible for both residents and visitors.
In 2024, Red Earth secured planning approval for the Brunswick Wharf project, which incorporates environmental improvements such as enhanced greenspace and measures to reduce carbon emissions.
The development will honour the site’s historical significance by preserving the ‘I Baker & Son’ plaque and incorporating a storytelling element in collaboration with local organisations.
