The first phase proposes creating a new landmark centered around a public space, featuring independent cafes, bars, restaurants, workspaces, and padel courts. The broader masterplan envisions a mixed-use community, incorporating additional homes, workspaces, independent dining venues, cultural attractions, and green spaces.

Tom Wilmot, Joint Managing Director of Capital & Centric, stated that Spode Works is one of the city's most significant heritage sites, and its future must be commensurate with its extraordinary history. The first phase aims to open up the site to attract people back, laying the foundation for a thriving new community. He hopes to celebrate Spode's uniqueness in architecture, stories, and creative spirit, while creating new reasons for people to linger there. This marks the beginning of a long-term transformation that will help ensure the site's sustainable development for future generations.

Pending planning approval, the first phase is expected to unlock significant investment and secure the long-term future of Spode's historic buildings. This plan builds on Capital & Centric's successful track record in the area, with its previously developed Goods Yard community near the train station having already attracted hundreds of new residents to the city center.
