York property specialist reveals plans for new residential development

A York property specialist has revealed plans for a new residential development aimed at first-time buyers.

Helmsley Group has announced plans for Luna, on Fifth Avenue in York, which will be made up of 50 one and two-bed apartments.

The gated apartment scheme at Luna is located within walking distance of the city centre and is planned to benefit from private parking, individual gardens and superfast hyperoptic broadband.

The apartments are proposed for development on the site of the former Cherry Tree House care facility, which was closed earlier this year following a strategic property review by the NHS.

Max Reeves, development director at Helmsley Group, commented: “We’re proud of the legacy we’re building in helping first-time buyers and families access high quality, affordable housing in and around York.

“We know there is a lot of demand for housing in York as the city has a lot to offer for individuals and businesses, but often what’s on offer is out of the price range of first-time buyers.

“By creating more homes at Luna aimed specifically at first-time buyers, we plan to transform a site with an underutilised, vacant building and give more people the opportunity to enjoy living close to the city centre.”
