The breathtaking vistas are a unique selling point for the selection of one and two bedroom apartments now available at the development, priced from just £126,995.

Award-winning Redrow is playing a role in the multi-million pounds regeneration of the city, which is led by urban development company Newport Unlimited.

Alexandra Gate, being built on the site of the former Black Clawson engineering works, which will have a finished value of more than £50million and consist of around 400 contemporary homes.

Julie Ells, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South Wales), said: “The aspects from the top of the apartments, looking out over the river with the hills in the distance, really are spectacular.

“They are wonderful views to wake up to and are sure to appeal to people looking for a new waterfront home in the heart of this forward-thinking city, which has enjoyed the same sort of investment that has changed the fortunes of Cardiff and Swansea, and has a very bright future

“In addition to the apartments, Alexandra Gate has a wide-range of homes on offer, whether it is for a family, young professional, retired couple or first-time buyers. Redrow has had massive success in South Wales with each of our developments growing into an enviable community and we know that Alexandra Gate will be a terrific place to live.”

The new homes are part of a major facelift for the city and the first part of the wider regeneration plans for Old Town Dock. The surrounding area will also contain an office district, an 80-room hotel, a park and other facilities all set along the banks of the River Usk. 

With the M4 motorway nearby providing easy access to other major towns and cities, including Cardiff and Bristol, the development is perfect for commuters working outside of Newport.

Properties at the development are currently priced from £126,995 for a one-bedroom Amherst-style apartment to £192,995 for a three-storey three-bedroom Lambourne-style home with a single detached garage.

To provide added comfort and reassurance to prospective homebuyers, award winning Redrow Homes has extended its ‘house price protection’ promise – helping to protect the value of its customers’ new homes for up to three years

It is one of the measures under the umbrella of ‘re:assure from Redrow’, which are all designed to give home buyers confidence and to help get them moving in the current housing market.

As well as helping to protect the value of their new home, Redrow’s ‘re:assure’ package includes measures to help people sell their current property at the best possible price and the option to part-exchange on selected plots.
