'Transformational'- Major York Regeneration Scheme Reaches 'Significant Milestone'

The final phase includes 1,014 homes, a 213-bed hotel and a new station entrance as the £2 billion scheme advances.

  • On Thursday, September 10, York Council approved the reserved matters application for Phase 1C, authorizing construction on the final portion of York Central's first phase.
  • The £2 billion York Central scheme, led by developers McLaren Property and Arlington Real Estate, transforms 45 hectares of former railway land into a neighborhood expected to deliver at least 2,500 homes.
  • Phase 1C features 1,014 mixed-tenure homes with 20% designated as affordable, plus a 213-bedroom hotel, a seven-storey Innovation Hub, and a new western entrance to York Station.
  • Welcoming the approval, Housing Secretary Angela Rayner called it a "fantastic opportunity" to transform brownfield land, while McLaren Regeneration chief executive John Gatley described it as a "major step forward."
  • Construction begins next year with first buildings expected by early 2029; however, Holgate ward's Coun Steels-Walshaw urged consideration for existing residents, stressing the development must avoid pushing people out.
