Artium delivers York office-to-resi for Helmsley
A £5.8m project to redevelop a vacant office building at Holgate Business Park into 35 apartments has been completed.
York developer Helmsley Group, the owner of the three-storey Gateway Two building, said the 14,472 sq t building will house one-bedroom apartments for both buyers and rental tenants.
The professional team included Walker Dsp Architects, Ousebank Consultancy, Gallagher Planning, WA Consulting Engineers, HG Consulting Engineers, RDS Safety Management, LHL Group and Cook Brown.
Gateway Two will offer secure bicycle storage and is within walking distance of the city centre and railway station.
Tom Riddolls, development surveyor at Helmsley Group, said: “With a scarcity of residential space across York, we are already seeing demand from residential buyers and buy-to-let investors at Gateway Two.
“The development is ideally placed to provide a much needed offering to the city and its residents, and will bring a host of benefits to the local economy.”
Garry Shaw, director at Harrogate-based Artium Construction, added: “The valuable repurposing of office space to residential, particularly in key city locations such as York where suitable accommodation is at a premium, is a priority for Artium Construction and we were delighted to join Helmsley Group on this project.
