A Brand New Place
York Central is one of the largest, and most exciting, city centre regeneration schemes in the UK.
Comprising 45 hectares of land (that’s more than 64 football pitches!) directly linked to the city’s railway station and National Railway Museum, it is a project of world-class ambition which is on track to deliver a brand-new city quarter for York featuring more than 2,500 brand new homes and over 1 million sq ft of commercial and retail space.
And it’s here that a vibrant and distinctive mix of residential neighbourhoods, a high-quality commercial core, cultural spaces, and extensive parkland and public realm will come together to create a brand-new place like no other in the heart of one of the UK’s most historic and desirable cities.
