Moda Living York Gasworks Brownfield Site

Plans have been unveiled for a major residential and community development on the outskirts of York which will transform the former Heworth Gasworks into a thriving new neighbourhood.

Moda Living – who’re set to speak at our North West Development Plans Conference – and Apache Capital Partners are collaborating with North Star to create the new community development with plans including:

  • 710 new homes – with a mix of built to rent and for sale
  • Vibrant new community
  • New green space and a park at the centre of the development
  • Landscaping across the site including over 100 new trees
  • Retail units
  • Café/community buildings

Having been left dormant for over a decade the new proposed scheme will breath new life into the 9-acre brownfield site. The site has been designed with a community spirit and placemaking in mind, with the park and community area central to the scheme – and new infrastructure links for cycle and pedestrians also key.

450 of the homes will be built to rent (BTR), with Moda Living, speakers at our Manchester Conference in April, set to own and operate for the long term, which will be a variety of sizes from studios to three-bedroom homes. They’ll be providing over 20,000sw ft of on-site amentity space, including shared lounges, health and wellness zones, communal working space, roof top gardens with views of the historical York Minster and dining space indoor and outdoor.

Tony Brooks, Managing Director at Moda Living, said: ”Steeped in history and consistently named as one of the best and most attractive places to live in the country, we look forward to contributing to York’s future heritage by providing high quality homes for rent within the wider regeneration of a derelict and neglected site. York is the UK’s first gigacity and has two thriving universities, by creating high-tech, socially connected communities, we hope to contribute towards the retention of emerging university talent. With our partners Apache Capital we have a proven track record of delivery, with developments underway across England and Scotland, and we are committed to delivering the site with our partners North Star.
