Gloucester Quays is on the verge of a major milestone as city officials work to secure £1.5 million in funding for the long-awaited Downing’s Malthouse regeneration project. This funding is critical to kick-start construction on the final phase of the Baker’s Quay development, which has been approved for over three years but remains unbuilt. The ambitious regeneration plan envisions a striking 10-storey tower block offering 117 flats. It also includes the careful restoration and extension of the 19th-century Downing’s Malthouse and the adjacent High Orchard Street Warehouse—both listed buildings integral to Gloucester’s heritage.
