Chance for close-up inspection of 77-apartment city development

Part of the landmark Ryedale House development, in York city centre, opens for public viewing this month.

The sixth-floor show apartment offers panoramic views of York, including the Minster, which is maximised by floor to ceiling glazing. Developers Newby will be opening the doors to the development on Saturday 19 October, offering the first opportunity to go up into the building since work began last year.

Ryedale House is a prominent property on the York skyline and is the tallest residential building in the city. Set in the heart of York on Piccadilly, sitting alongside the River Foss, Newby is transforming the building into 77 one, two and three-bedroom luxury apartments over seven floors.

All apartments feature open plan living areas and a high specification finish, including Vessini bathrooms and bespoke kitchens.  The building will feature an impressive hotel-style lobby with concierge, secure parking, lifts to all floors, cycle stores and generous storage lockers. Prices range from £250,000 to £1.25m and the scheme is due for completion in June 2020.

Anthony Mackle, sales and marketing director at Newby, said: “We’re really excited to be able to take people into the building for the first time and many people have been so eager to see the breathtaking views from Ryedale House across York for themselves.

“It’s no surprise it’s been called the best view in York, as apartments enjoy multi-aspect vistas across York’s historic centre. Occupants will be greeted by a concierge before taking the lift to their luxury apartment. We’ve been working tirelessly behind the hoardings to create a luxury apartment building worthy of its desirable location and we can’t wait to show it off.”
