The disused Typhoo Tea factory complex, which is Grade C locally listed, is to be renovated into a mixed-use complex named Typhoo Wharf to a design by Glenn Howells Architects. Much of the Typhoo building is to be demolished, although the front, rear and one of the side façades would be retained with the internal structure removed and replaced with new build based upon the original pattern of the internal wings. The development would consist of a three storey build up to the top of the front façade, a four storey build to the rear façade and a six storey build on the internal wings set back from both the front and the rear. It will consist of 342 dwellings (including 230 one bed flats, 112 two bed flats), seven units, 800 m2 of commercial space and a gym for the residents. The site area is 1.12ha and lies within the Warwick Bar Conservation Area. The masterplan includes reference to the heights of the proposed building and shows to be between three and eight storeys on parts of the site. The proposals also include the reinstatement of the third arm of the canal basin to full standard and allows for the mooring of houseboats. The overall cost of all developments in the area is expected to be £400 million by 2009.
