KS appointed Masterplan Lead to transform Northeast Cambridge, UK
Kjellander Sjöberg has been appointed by regeneration specialist U+I (a Landsec Company) and profit-with-purpose developer TOWN to design the masterplan for the new 120-acre Core Site development, a new kind of sustainable, inclusive and affordable community neighbourhood on the edge of – but firmly rooted in – Cambridge.
Kjellander Sjöberg is leading a team of award-winning UK architects including Bell Phillips Architects, Haworth Tompkins, and 5th Studio, with Feilden Fowles, Alison Brooks Architects and Nooma Studio.
A ten-minute walk from Cambridge North station, the Core Site is located within a predominantly employment-based area of the city, neighboured by the world-renowned Cambridge Science Park, St John’s Innovation Park and Cambridge Business Park. The proposal will include over 5,000 homes, schools, shops, and workplaces, including space for Cambridge’s growing life sciences sector, all connected by high quality public realm and extensive green space. The new piece of Cambridge will be a distinctive local place to live, work, play and learn, where people know their neighbours, shop locally and put down roots.
