Homebuyers thinking of purchasing a property at the visionary £200m RiversideOne development

at Middlehaven, Middlesbrough, now have an even greater reason to own an apartment there –
unrestricted access to superb views of one of the world’s most impressive art installations.
A significant number of the 80 apartments now available in the eight storey CIAC (Community in
a Cube) building at RiversideOne will provide elevated panoramic views of Temenos, the first installation in the Tees Valley Giants public art initiative. It will cost £2.7m and will be an aweinspiring 110m in length and almost 50m high.
Launched by Tees Valley Regeneration, Tees Valley Giants will be a series of five world-class art
installations by internationally acclaimed sculptor Anish Kapoor and leading structural designer
Cecil Balmond. The artist and engineer are known for the huge scale of their work and are two of
the most sought after names in the art world. Their works can be seen in prominent locations
around the globe including New York, Chicago and Beijing.

Helen Devy is head of residential sales and marketing at BioRegional Quintain, the sustainable
community developer that will deliver RiversideOne. “We have always spoken about our intention
to create a vibrant new district of Middlesbrough in which to live, work and relax,” she said. “The
arrival of Temenos at RiversideOne will add another perspective to the development which will
provide residents and visitors with an experience and views unlike any other.
“To have open access to an installation of this calibre, which complements our own public arts
strategy, is further evidence of the progressive, exciting destination that we are creating at
RiversideOne.”
Priced from £94,999, the properties released for sale at CIAC comprise a selection of studio, oneand
two-bedroom apartments. With those on the north and east sides of the building providing
clear views of the proposed Temenos site at the north east corner of Middlehaven Docks, it is
anticipated that they will prove extremely popular with buyers.
Godfrey Worsdale, director of Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA), commented: “MIMA
is delighted that a work of such ambition and an artist of such importance are being brought to
Middlesbrough. The commission will be a great driver for the RiversideOne development and the
whole of the Middlehaven project.”
Temenos is funded by government initiative The Northern Way, Regional Development Agency
One NorthEast, the Arts Council England, the Northern Rock Foundation, Middlesbrough Football
Club and BioRegional Quintain. A planning application for Temenos will be submitted to
Middlesbrough Council shortly. Sculptures will also be installed at Stockton, Hartlepool,
Darlington and Redcar and Cleveland adding up to the biggest public art project anywhere in the
world.
Every apartment within CIAC features a fully fitted contemporary kitchen available in a range of
colours and styles. In line with developer BioRegional Quintain’s sustainable principles the
kitchens also feature integrated energy efficient appliances.
The majority of two bedroom apartments benefit from an en suite, whilst the bathrooms in the
homes include fittings designed to deliver water efficiency. The apartments also have central
heating with a fresh air ventilation and heat recovery system to reduce fuel costs.
CIAC has 12 apartment types which are each named after a pioneering modern artist - such as
Rodin, Hepworth and Popova - in a move which reflects the overall vibrancy and visionary design
of RiversideOne.
RiversideOne is situated close to Middlesbrough Football Club, off Windward Way, and provides
fast access to the A66 and A19. People interested in purchasing an apartment at RiversideOne
should visit the marketing suite 10am-5.30pm, Thursday to Monday, or contact the sales team on
