York's Future Developments
York is entering an exciting new chapter, with a wave of major developments set to transform the city and unlock significant investment and opportunity. Explore the most significant projects currently underway, and watch our short promotional film showcasing these developments alongside York’s wider commercial strengths and appeal.
York BID and partners have commissioned a new short film, 'It’s All York', celebrating the city’s thriving commercial landscape. The film highlights York’s diverse business offering, showcases exciting future developments, and supports ongoing efforts to attract vital new investment into the city.
We invite businesses, partners, and the wider community to share the film with their networks and help us champion the wealth of opportunities York has to offer. There is also a Short Version of the film which just focusses on the major developments.

Coney Street Riverside
This landmark project will reconnect York’s historic riverside with the vibrant High Street, transforming this iconic area into a welcoming and dynamic city centre destination for visitors and the local community. Delivering 250,000 sq ft of high-quality mixed-use space, it will combine retail, leisure, commercial and residential uses while revitalising underused upper floors and bringing new life to the area. The development will also create over 1,150 jobs and generate an estimated £175 million in economic benefits over the next 15 years.
York Minster Precinct
York Minster’s Neighbourhood Plan is the most ambitious transformation of the Precinct in over 150 years, delivering a vision that balances heritage, sustainability and innovation. At its heart, five solar installations generate over 70,000 kWh of renewable energy, while the award-winning Centre of Excellence combines cutting-edge digital technology with traditional craft skills to support global heritage conservation. The next phase will also see St William’s College revitalised as a vibrant space for offices, conferences and events, further enhancing the Precinct as a dynamic place to work and visit.
