‘Landmark’ mixed-use development in York city centre reaches completion

A new mixed-use development in the heart of York has been completed.

The first residents have moved into the Hudson Quarter development, opposite York Railway Station, as the project completes following a three-year development journey.

The Palace Capital plc development, which features 127 apartments and 39,000 sq ft of Grade A office space as well as landscaped gardens, is situated on the site of the former British Rail office building.

Caddick Construction was the main contractor on the site, and delivered three residential buildings and one office building, all named after famous railway stations to mark the site’s railway heritage.

Neil Sinclair, CEO of Palace Capital plc commented: “It’s a testament to everyone involved that we have completed Hudson Quarter to such a high standard.”

“Seeing the finished development vindicates our confidence in the great city of York, and other major regional cities, over recent years.

“Hudson Quarter will be a brilliant addition to York and will be a vibrant new place to live and work in the heart of the City and we are proud to have delivered it.”

Adrian Dobson, managing director of Caddick Construction, added: “This has been a very high profile project in the heart of York city centre.

“The benefits it brings to this thriving area are huge, not just in terms of additional housing and commercial opportunities but for a more sustainable way of living and working.

“That’s thanks to its excellent public transport links and located within shouting distance of York Railway Station where you can hop on a train and be in London in less than two hours.”
