Historic new location confirmed for aparthotel group

Luxury serviced apartments operator, Supercity Aparthotels, has secured a new site in York.

Due to open in 2023, construction of the property will begin this summer.

Over the past 12 years, the group has grown to six aparthotels across London, Manchester and Brighton.

Having recently launched a UK growth plan, funded by Supercity Aparthotels private Family Office, the company has now reached a deal with North Star to develop a luxury aparthotel on York’s Micklegate.

It will replace vacant commercial units on the street, which previously housed a van hire centre and a restaurant.

Designed by architects Vincent & Brown, the development will deliver a contemporary building which will include a new bar and restaurant space.  Planning permission was granted last year to redevelop this site.

Chairman of Supercity Aparthotels, Roger Walters, said: “We are thrilled to have secured such a great site in York. Micklegate’s rich history, vibrant nightlife and proximity to transport links make it the ideal location for our guests.

“The development will blend beautifully into York’s famous gateway street, and we look forward to bringing our stylish hallmark interiors and warm service to this great city.”

A spokesman for North Star added: “Supercity Aparthotels are a highly respected provider in the aparthotel sector and this signing is another indication of the heightened interest in York as a destination for both business and leisure.

“We look forward to working with the Supercity Aparthotels team to deliver this high-quality project on one of York’s most renowned streets.”
