Joint Lecture with York Society of Engineers.

York Central is one of the largest, and most exciting, city centre regeneration schemes in the UK.

Comprising 45 hectares of land directly linked to the city’s railway station and National Railway Museum, it is a project of world-class ambition which is on track to deliver a brand-new city quarter for York featuring more than 2,500 brand new homes and over 1 million sq ft of commercial and retail space.

And it’s here that a vibrant and distinctive mix of residential neighbourhoods, a high-quality commercial core, cultural spaces, and extensive parkland and public realm will come together to create a brand-new place like no other in the heart of one of the UK’s most historic and desirable cities.

York Central is being developed by a joint venture partnership between McLaren Property and Arlington Real Estate on behalf of majority landowners Homes England and Network Rail.

Rob Auld is the Construction Director for McLaren Property and is responsible for the delivery of this fantastic development. His remit covers, the coordination of design, procurement of the projects, delivery of the construction phases and the establishment of the operational elements of this market leading regeneration of such an important area of a great historic city.
