Transforming the historic Redcar Central Station

The £6 million redevelopment is set to be completed by 2025, returning the station to its former glory.

The Grade II listed building is undergoing a significant transformation. The ambitious project aims to revitalise the station, turning it into a vibrant leisure and retail hub as well as a transportation link.

A collaborative funding Initiative

The ambitious redevelopment project has received generous financial support from various sources. Key contributors include the governments Levelling Up Partnership Fund, the Welcome to Redcar and Cleveland fund administrated by Tees Valley Combined Authority, and the Railway Heritage Trust.

Balancing sustainability with heritage preservation

Sustainability is a priority despite the station being listed as a Victorian Building. Renewable energy systems will be installed such as solar panels which will be positioned out of sight ensuring the traditional look of the building.

Enhancing local economy and community

The restoration will support local businesses and encourage more visitors to the station. Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said, “The regeneration also complements the work we’re doing at stations across the region to improve communities and give local people the transport likes they deserve”.

“This vital work will restore Redcar station to its former glory – while providing new, modern spaces for our brilliant leisure and hospitality businesses. It will encourage even more people to visit Redcar and see first-hand the fantastic new entertainment spaces while supporting the town.”

“We were delighted to win the commission for the conversion of this beautiful building which had fallen into disrepair. The innovative conversion will bring life and vitality back to the building and contribute to the council’s wider strategy of improvement in the town centre.’’
