Keel Square is a public space and boulevard based in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear, completed in 2015. Located to the north of the City Centre opposite the Vaux Site, the square was constructed as part of the larger St. Mary's Way redevelopment.[1] The total cost of the project amounts to £11.8 million.[2] A celebration of Sunderland's maritime and industrial heritage, the square's name was decided by the city's residents.[3]
