Centenary Quay is a major urban regeneration programme to redevelop the former Vosper Thornycroft shipyard beside the River Itchen in Woolston. Over the next 10 years 1,620 new homes (1,472 flats and 148 town houses) will be built on the 33 acre (13.35 hectare) site together with a food superstore, offices, shops, a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a "marine employment quarter". This development will increase the population of Woolston by almost 20% and is expected to cost £500m to complete.
