New images show Telford's changing skyline as £220m Station Quarter regeneration scheme takes shape
New drone shots released by Telford & Wrekin Council show how Telford's £220 million regeneration is coming along - and the development is really starting to shape up.
Building work on the Station Quarter scheme commenced in 2023, with Telford & Wrekin Council promising a "bright future for Telford town centre" on the site of the town's former 1980s-style central business district.
The majority of work on the landmark regeneration development, a scheme to regenerate an eight-hectare site in Telford town centre, is set to be completed by 2027.
The regeneration will create 189 smart new homes in what is the first residential scheme in the town centre.
Now, new pictures released by the council show how work is progressing, with a new six-storey apartment block now dominating the emerging skyline and the outline of a new 142-room Hampton by Hilton hotel also starting to take shape.
When completed, the new six-storey hotel will occupy a prominent space on the corner of Ironmasters Way and Lawn Central in Telford town centre, on the site of former government tax offices at Boyd House which were demolished in 2018.
The scheme also includes a new sixth-form centre in former council offices at Addenbrooke House and a landmark new education and business hub building known as The Quad.
The sixth form centre is set to be occupied by Telford College when it opens in September 2026, with council officials also pleased with progress on the site, adding that the project was "progressing well" as the most visible phase of the works - a complete replacement of the building's facade to replace faded 1990s panelling with a brick-style fascia - got under way this month.
Telford & Wrekin Council leader Lee Carter said the announcement of a new Hampton by Hilton Hotel earlier this year marked "another exciting chapter" in the town's landmark regeneration project.
"Station Quarter is a key part of our wider Investing in Telford and Wrekin programme, creating educational facilities and vibrant residential and social spaces in Telford town centre which make it a very attractive place to live and work," he said.
