Commercial Union House Demolished as Part of Pilgrim’s Quarter Development

As part of MGL Demolition’s work to enable the Pilgrim’s Quarter development, Commercial Union House has been demolished, and the team are crushing and removing the basement and foundations.

The demolition of the structure, which also had a six-storey overhang, has opened up views of Pilgrim Street that haven’t been seen in 50 years.

To facilitate the site’s redevelopment and kick start the enabling works phase, MGL Demolition has already demolished Dex Multi-storey Car Park. Bamburgh House and the interior of Carliol House will also be demolished. Developers are keen to retain as many of its original features as possible, and the Grade II-listed façade will be carefully preserved.

We are proud to support the ongoing transformation of Newcastle City Centre.
