Homes England and Network Rail Property have signed a development agreement with McLaren Property and Arlington Real Estate to be strategic development partners for York Central, which is set to become one of the UK’s largest city centre regeneration schemes. The agreement could lead to the transformation of one of the largest brownfield sites in England with support from partners the City of York Council and the National Railway Museum.
McLaren Property and Arlington Real Estate have been undertaking community and stakeholder engagement and will continue to work with the local community on the proposals for York Central, ahead of submitting plans for the scheme later this year. Leon Guyett, Director of Regeneration Partnerships at Homes England said: “This marks an important step forward for the York Central project, which will have significant impact on the local area.
