The Quays site was a mass of old sheds and rusty roof tops in 2004 before the redevelopment began

Rokeby Developments have planning permission to turn the building into 88 apartments and 11,000 square feet of shared office space. The adjacent listed Transit Shed will be converted into a 3,500 sqft restaurant and terrace overlooking the canal new visitor moorings. It is anticipated that work will be complete in summer 2020. And Crest Nicholson's 400-plus new Waterfront homes development to the south of Sainsbury's on the west side of the Gloucester to Sharpness Canal is progressing well. McCarthy and Stone's 80-plus apartment development next to the canal will help complete the jigsaw. As a major designer outlet centre, Gloucester Quays has gone from strength to strength as an experience-led retail and leisure destination since it opened in May 2009. The Quays now attracts 7 million visitors each year and continues to see a growth in sales with a 10% increase in 2018/19.
Jason Pullen - The Quays is a destination that Gloucester can be rightly proud of
Beefeater restaurant and hundreds of flats overlooking the canal. More recently, scaffolding went up alongside the derelict Malthouse - the largest building in the Quays - ahead of the complete overhaul of the building.
