By GlobalDataThe scheme also includes plans to revitalise disused railway arches into 7,000ft² of commercial space.
The development is set to introduce a new walkway, reducing the previous walking time by 20 minutes and stimulating investment into the commercial corridor.
Glancy Nicholls Architects and RPS have designed the plans for the low-rise development, aiming to blend with the surrounding conservation area and canalside setting.
Furthermore, the development plans include provisions for electric vehicle charging for each home and additional chargers for visitors.
Wavensmere managing director James Dickens said: “We are excited to reveal our plans and visuals for Canalside South, which illustrate the transformational impact this regeneration project could bring about.
“The £150m of investment and different housing typologies we are proposing will be the catalyst for a new wave of ambitious city living, which is vital to see the Wolverhampton Pound spent locally.”
The overall aim of the Wolverhampton Canalside master plan is said to be to deliver about 1,000 residences, addressing the housing requirements of both the city and the broader region.
A public consultation process has been launched to gather local input on the redevelopment plans.
Last month, Derby City Council’s Planning Committee gave its approval for the redevelopment plans for Friar Gate Goods Yard.
The project is being spearheaded by Wavensmere and Clowes Developments.
