There is much to be excited about in 2025 as Sunderland’s revitalization continues at a rapid pace.

Here is a summary of some of the significant changes that are coming our way, including a major new tourist destination, new homes, pubs, and the game-changing TV and film studios.
1. Studios Crown Works

Pallion’s huge Crown Works Studios should be under construction by 2025. On the banks of the Wear, the studios will house one of the biggest TV and film studios in Europe, generating over 8,000 jobs—the largest single development in the city since Nissan.

One of the biggest city centre developments, and set to fill a gap in visitor attractions in the city, is Culture House. The £27m culture hub will offer a mix of library, creative, digital and community spaces - as well as a coffee shop. Due to open in autumn 2025, it's expected to attract more than half a million visitors a year.

It is scheduled to open in the fall of 2025 and is anticipated to draw over half a million visitors annually.

One of the biggest additions to the city in 2025 will be the new River Wear footbridge due to open in the summer. The new footbridge, which is yet to be named, will help connect all of the Riverside developments, improving accessibility to the city centre and Sheepfolds and providing a major boost to footfall.

Work has started on a new retail outlet which is set to create over 100 jobs for the city. Located on the site of the former Farringdon Police Station and adjacent land, the multi-million-pound retail development will see the creation of a new B&M Homestore, Costa Drive-thru, Greggs, The Tanning Shop and Westway Vets veterinary practice. It's due to open in autumn / winter 2025.
The development of the 32,100 sq ft site is being carried out by Almscliffe Dhesi Developments.
