Neil Sinclair, CEO of Palace Capital plc, said: “This is a major development for York and we are proud to have the Archbishop with us to formally start the construction work.

“Hudson Quarter will be a luxury new development in one of the best locations in the City and represents a major investment and commitment to York.”

The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu said: “I was delighted to conduct a ceremonial ground breaking ceremony at Hudson Quarter.  It signals work is starting on this ambitious development in the heart of York that will provide a

high quality new place for people to live and work.  This site has been under- utilised for many years and these plans will breathe new life into the area. The proposals have a wow factor and I look forward to seeing it being built over the next two years.”

Hudson Quarter will also include a new landscaped link from the railway station, opposite the site, through to Toft Green.
