City of York Council has signed off on plans to construct a six-storey government hub near the city centre.

The hub is the first part of York Central – a major initiative to redevelop a substantial area of land in central York and boost the regional economy.

Earmarked for completion in 2027/2028, the 195,000 sq ft hub will be home to up to 2,600 civil servants.

It also includes 135,000 sq ft of flexible office space, with ground floor retail and ancillary space.

The planning application was put forward by partners the Government Property Agency (GPA), Homes England and Network Rail.

Mark Bourgeois, the GPA’s CEO, said: ‘The new hub will help to accelerate the York Central development, stimulate economic growth and investment in the North of England as well as supporting the transformation of the Civil Service.’
