New vision for Albion Square development unveiled

Hull City Council has unveiled new images of the proposed redevelopment of Albion Square and the creation of a new retail development in the city centre.The area, which was marked as a priority for redevelopment within the Enterprise Zone, covers four acres encompassing the former BHS and Co-op building, the Edwin Davis building and the Albion Street car park.The development brief for the site proposes an ambitious, mixed-use development featuring retail, housing, leisure and enhanced parking facilities set around an enclosed courtyard.It has also been earmarked as the potential home for a newly-built ice arena, meaning the current site on Kingston Street may be redeveloped into further housing.
