VIVID is creating 835 new homes at the former scrapyard site in a waterfront development which will transform the prime site, with flood defences around the northern edge of the site almost complete.

When complete, the site will host a wide range of properties from two-storeys to 10-storeys high, with the largest at the northern most point of the site descending down to the smallest closest to Stamshaw. There will also be a coastal footpath and some community and commercial facilities on site.
