The dynamic business community that is growing in the city is attracting a new wave of business to Sunderland. Companies like Tombola and Ocado are now occupying large offices on the city’s riverside, which is being reconnected to the city centre through the Riverside Sunderland regeneration programme. The development will see both sides of the river evolve, creating the UK’s first carbon neutral urban quarter, where there will be a range of high-quality modern office spaces, cafés and eateries, a hotel and other leisure venues, and 1,000 ultra-sustainable homes, where some 2,500 people will eventually live.
