CONSTRUCTION of hundreds of new flats in Walmgate is continuing.
Developers have cleared the site of The Press's former site on Walmgate, next door to our new offices, and are creating new student accommodation.
The newspaper has been based in Walmgate for 25 years but, following the closure of its printing press and with recent changes in technology, a smaller more modern working environment was required.
The Press teamed up with the York-based S Harrison Group, one of the UK’s most successful development companies, to explore possibilities for the two-acre, wharf-side site.
Working with Student Castle, The Press and Harrison have redeveloped the site. The Press now occupies the corner three-storey building that was once a late-Victorian merchant's premises.
Harrison have also brought forward plans for a three-storey hotel now taking shape next to The Press offices, which is due to be completed next year.
