UK: Planning has been secured for serviced apartments in a building in York city centre.
Developer Grantside will redevelop the building at 4-6 Parliament Street, (currently The Vintage Store).
Planning has already been approved to convert the upper floors of the building into 19 apartments, and this part of the building has now been sold to serviced apartment specialist By Mansley Group. Architects Vincent & Brown, based in York, have designed the building, which will have separate entrances for the retail and accommodation. The architecture firm also designed the upcoming Supercity aparthotel in the city.
The ground floor and basement space will also undergo a refurbishment to modernise the space.
Steve Davis, CEO of Grantside, said: “As a proud York company it is great news to see major progress as we breathe new life into this key building and give it a sustainable new future. We are excited to get ready to start work on updating the existing retail space and refurbishing and renovating the upper floors back into beneficial use for serviced apartments.”
Grantside will deliver the completed apartments to By Mansley in late 2023. Grantside has delivered over £850m worth of real estate across the UK and has ongoing projects in York and Sheffield city centres.
By Mansley operates serviced apartments in Mayfair, Kensington, Cheltenham, Edinburgh and Inverness but this will be its foray into Yorkshire.
Last year By Mansley said it was increasing its efforts in sustainability.
