Regent Quay is a mixed commercial and residential street opposite the harbour, within easy walking distance of the city centre and all its amenities. The bus and railway stations are within easy reach, so too a choice of bus routes with links to all parts of the city and suburbs, including the airport. Union Square with a choice of shops, restaurants and cinema is within easy walking distance. Renewable energy is beginning to make its mark in the North East, and is a priority sector for the region. There is huge capacity for the generation of renewable energy in the North East and diversification into alternative energy technologies is underway, to complement work already being undertaken in hard to reach oil and gas reserves, hydrogen fuel cell supply chain opportunities, renewable energy and carbon capture. This is a main driver for price increase within the property sector, both for capital growth in property values coupled with rental demand increase, leading to higher monthly rents.
