Gentoo will build residential properties and an elderly apartment scheme on the site of the former Ashington Hospital. The site has stood unused for over a decade.
The main building will have 40 sheltered living apartments with communal living facilities. There will also be 26 bungalows alongside.
Client is social housing provider Bernicia, which is investing 拢13m to regenerate this area of Ashington.
Ashington Hospital dates back to 1913 but closed after Wansbeck General Hospital opened in the 1990s.
