PLANS will soon be revealed for the £500m transformation of an area of Middlesbrough.
The team behind the project, to transform the 250-acre redundant waterfront area of Middlehaven, said it will be transformed into a groundbreaking landscape of contemporary architecture for work and leisure.
They are keeping the details under wraps until Tuesday, with work due to start on site later in the week.
Tees Valley Regeneration is launching the scheme at the Riverside Stadium. They said the scheme will include a Land of the Giants, Bladerunner and Joseph's Technicolour Dreamcoat and said they will reveal more on Tuesday.
The plans have been drawn up by award-winning architecture company Alsop.
In the past 20 years, countless plans have been drawn up for the site overlooking the River Tees, and £15m has already been invested in the infrastructure of the area.
Work should start this month on a £5m three-storey 30,000sq ft office block on the riverbank, which could house 1,000 workers.
