They are currently delivering West Hartford Park a 126 acre industrial development close to the Port of Blyth.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
Homes England is the Government agency responsible for investing in increasing housing supply and releasing public land to the market. Its involvement has allowed the final pieces of land to become owned by the partnership, with future focus on unlocking the residential potential of York Central.
Network Rail is the largest single landowner on the York Central site. Work on the site is being led by the land and commercial division, tasked with generating funds to be reinvested back into the railway by delivering transport and station-led regeneration, housing, jobs and economic growth.
City of York Council, as local authority, and a partial landowner, has played a crucial role in facilitating the development of York Central. The council is working with all partners to leverage the public funds necessary to facilitate the enabling infrastructure, attract future investment, and crucially to unlock the site’s long term strategic development potential and build a great new place for the city and its residents.
A leading UK museum and visitor attraction, the National Railway Museum currently welcomes 750,000 visitors annually. A major landowner and anchor occupier, the museum is progressing its own multi-million-pound transformative masterplan of investment and improvements.
