Creating a New Urban Neighbourhood

The regeneration of the Hungate area is being carried out by Hungate (York) Regeneration Ltd. (HYRL) - a joint venture between Crosby Lend Lease, Evans Property Group and Land Securities Group PLC - which is facilitating the Dig Hungate archaeological excavations as part of the work being carried out to create the new Hungate urban neighbourhood.The close working relationship between Hungate (York) Regeneration Ltd, York Archaeological Trust and City of York Council has enabled the development of this exciting archaeological project which will include unparalleled views, tours and access to York's resonant past. Regeneration of the site will see the area transformed through a £150m mixed-use scheme including 720 new homes, new offices for City of York Council, neighbourhood shops and bars, a focal building, new public open spaces and walkways across and beside the River Foss.Phase one of the development, involved the construction of apartments and town houses, started in April 2007, with the first of the properties ready by late 2008.
