Contractor named for prestigious York mixed-use scheme

Developer Palace Capital has appointed Caddick Construction as its main contractor for the £35M Hudson Quarter mixed-use scheme in York city centre.

The two-acre development on the site of the former Hudson House, opposite York railway station, will be transformed into a vibrant new community featuring 127 apartments, 3,200m² of Grade-A office space, 460m² of other commercial uses and car parking located in four buildings around a landscaped garden.

West Yorkshire based Caddick Construction will start site preparations later this month and will be on-site for around two years, with the whole development due for completion in 2021.

Palace Capital Chief Executive Neil Sinclair said: “Appointing the main contractor is a key landmark in the Hudson Quarter development process.  We were very impressed with the approach Caddick Construction will take to build out our vision and they come with a great reputation, both locally and throughout the UK.”

Caddick Construction Managing Director Andrew Murray commented: “This is a prestigious development in the heart of York city centre so we feel very privileged to be part of this development. The Caddick team is looking forward to the next two years where we will see new life being breathed into Hudson Quarter.”
