Developer Partner for the Albion Square site, Hull city centre

Description

This procurement is to secure the appointment of a Development Partner to enable the mixed use re-development and revitalisation of a currently derelict and vacant city centre site (Albion Square) in the heart of Kingston upon Hull. The primary objective of the Development is to transform a derelict but strategically positioned city centre site into a high-quality mixed-use residential, commercial, leisure and cultural development in line with the city’s Local Plan. This site has a wider significance for the future economy of Hull, as a visitor destination and a place that people choose to live, work, and play. Albion Square is in the heart of the city centre and provides a development opportunity for a mixed-use residential led scheme with substantial frontage to King Edward Square, one of the main shopping areas within the retail core. The site is approximately 1.063 hectare, and is located between Albion Street, Bond Street, Jameson Street, King Edward Square, Waltham Street and Story Street. The Council own the development land. The procurement is being undertaken using the Competitive Flexible Procedure under the new Procurement Act 2023.
