£1.6 Million Investment Revitalizes Commercial Arches in Carlisle
What happened
The Arch Company is undertaking a £1.6 million project to transform 12 long-empty railway arches in Carlisle into modern commercial spaces. These units, located on Viaduct Estate Road, were vacant following major flooding. Construction is now underway to upgrade the arches with new glazing, lighting, and improved power supplies.

Why it matters
The project aims to attract investment, support local enterprise, and boost the city centre economy of Carlisle. The restoration and reoccupation of the arches were made possible by recent improvements to Carlisle’s flood defences.
