CREATING A NEW URBAN NEIGHBOURHOOD

The archaeological investigation is being funded by Hungate (York) Regeneration Ltd. (HYRL) – a joint venture between Crosby Lend Lease, Evans Property Group and Land Securities Group PLC – as part of the work being carried out to create the new Hungate urban neighbourhood.

Regeneration of the site will see the area transformed through a £150m mixed-use scheme including 720 new homes, new offices for City of York Council, neighbourhood shops and bars, a focal building, new public open spaces and walkways across and beside the River Foss.

Phase one of the development, involving the construction of apartments and town houses, is due to start from April 2007, with the first of the properties ready by late 2008.

These architects' perspectives show how buildings in the first phase of the development will look.
