Plans announced for further redev of York’s Coney Street

Helmsley Group has revealed its vision for a 250,000 sq ft project in York city centre. The plan follows continued development of Coney Street Riverside. Projects delivered to date on the riverfront include Merchant’s Exchange, the Old Fire Station and Westgate. Helmsley is now set to reshape 1-7, 19-33 and 39-43 Coney Street into the hub of commerce, culture and community while opening it up and reconnecting the area with the River Ouse. Proposals include the creation of 250,000 sq ft of mixed-use retail, leisure, commercial, and residential space, a riverside walkway and public realm. Max Reeves, development director at Helmsley, said: “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sensitively preserve Coney Street’s story, while blending new architecture seamlessly with the area’s unique historical and cultural heritage for future generations to enjoy and benefit from.” To send feedback, e-mail evelina.grecenko@eg.co.uk or tweet @gre_eve View market analytics for York >>
