Anglia Square redevelopment – your questions answered

When will demolition finish? 

Demolition work is currently underway and is expected to wrap up by Spring 2026. This marks a major milestone in preparing the site for a vibrant new chapter.

When does construction begin? 

Construction of Phase One is scheduled to start in Spring 2026, right after demolition ends. This phase will lay the foundation for new homes, public spaces, and community amenities.

When will the development be completed? 

Anglia Square will be built in multiple phases over several years. The first homes are expected to be ready by 2028, with further phases continuing beyond that. This phased approach ensures quality and sustainability throughout the project.

How many affordable homes will be included? 

At least 50% of the homes in the first two phases will be affordable, helping to meet local housing needs and support a diverse community.

What does “affordable” mean? 

Affordable housing includes a range of options, from social rented homes to low-cost ownership schemes. These are designed to make living in the city centre accessible to more people.

Can I buy a home in the new development? 

Yes! Homes will be available for purchase. Details will be released closer to Spring 2026, so keep an eye out for updates if you're interested in buying.

How can I apply to live there? 

Information on how to apply for housing - whether to rent or buy - will be shared as construction begins. Local housing associations and developers will provide guidance on eligibility and application processes.

Interested in working on the redevelopment? 

Job opportunities will be advertised locally by the contractors involved in the project. If you're in construction, engineering, or related trades, this could be a great chance to be part of reshaping Norwich’s future.
