York Central team welcome York’s new Mayor

We were thrilled to welcome Leader of City of York Council, Claire Douglas, and David Skaith, the first Mayor of York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, for a visit to the York Central development in July.

Following a presentation and Q&A with members of the York Central Partnership, including Homes, England, Network Rail, City of York Council, the National Railway Museum and appointed strategic developers McLaren and Arlington, the group took a tour of the site to see progress made to date.

The visit underscored the immense potential of this 45-hectare regeneration project site to bring a vibrant new dimension to our historic city.

York Central is set to become a beacon of cultural and economic growth by transforming underused land into a vibrant and distinctive mix of:
🏡 residential neighbourhoods
🎨 cultural spaces
🌳 public realm
🏢 and a high-quality commercial core

All in the heart of one of the UK’s desirable cities.

This project will drive inward investment, create affordable housing and enhance transport connectivity – all of which are crucial for regional empowerment.

Strong political leadership is crucial to realising this ambitious vision and we are grateful for the support and leadership of Claire and David as we work together to make York Central a reality for residents of York.
