Mytongate presents an exciting development opportunity on a prime gateway site, adjacent to A63, the main arterial route into Hull city centre.
The striking £36 million Connexin Live, a 3,500-capacity live performance and conferencing venue which attracts top artists and acts, is part of a positive transformation of this area that also includes an impressive landscaped setting, multi-storey car park and the relocation and refurbishment of the Grade II listed Earl de Grey pub and Castle Street Chambers.
A recent addition to the area is the £11.5m cycle and pedestrian footbridge over the A63, connecting Mytongate to the marina and rejuvenated Fruit Market.
The recently completed overpass junction as part of National Highways £355m improvement scheme of the A63 further aids connection from the 1.15-hectare site to Hull Marina and its social offering, opening both residential and hotel opportunities.
