Welcome to Newcastle Helix
At Newcastle Helix, hundreds of researchers, businesses and progressive home- owners will be living and working side-by-side, along with great food, drink and entertainment venues. A collection of stunning public spaces for everyone, of all ages, to use.
Let's take a closer look
As Helix develops, you can enjoy the stunning public spaces and the events that take place in them. The site is part of the city centre so you can enjoy easy access to rail and Metro connections as well as Newcastle’s thriving social and cultural scene.
Everyone here is united by one purpose: to help families, communities and cities around the world to live healthier, longer, smarter and easier lives. In short, to live better. In the process, our businesses will continue to grow, employ more local people and help ensure Newcastle excels.

Newcastle Urban Observatory's City Heartbeat
Newcastle Helix is about enabling people to live better lives. We're so proud to be home to the Urban Observatory which is part of the UK's largest open data sensing network. They manage over 10,000 city observations per minute – from air quality to traffic flows. This anonymous data is provided as open source, in real time and can help answer engineering, science and social questions by providing real data to back up decision making.
The City Heartbeat shows a regional map that is constantly moving as every data piece is captured from number plates to air quality – it shows the work of Newcastle Helix in action!
