Jubilee Wharf is a mixed-use scheme on the riverside in Penryn comprising of a nursery, bar/cafe, offices, live-a-board facilities, external public spaces and landscaping, 12 rented workspaces, and 6 residential units with external balconies

The scheme received Sure Start funding and private funding and features a wood pellet boiler and four wind turbines, and will be a Zero (fossil) Energy Development.
