Premises

Looking for unique premises for your business?

We own some of the most iconic buildings in York. When we have vacancies our letting agents handle the process on our behalf.  You'll find our commercial rents are at market rates and the net income is allocated to the long term care of the historic structures.

Our commercial premises have a range of permitted use classes including:

  • retail
  • office
  • public assembly
  • entertainment
  • café / bar
  • restaurant 

The minimum lease period is usually three years and we have a preference for premises to be occupied by local, independent businesses wherever possible. That said we have a branch of ASK, the national Italian restaurant chain, operating in our magnificent Georgian Assembly Rooms, an arrangement that works very well for visitors to York, our tenants and us

If you are looking for a truly unique place to base your business, have a look at our current vacancies and be part of the vibrant York business community.
