A planning application for some of the 2,500 homes is set to be lodged at the end of June as part of the first phase of the development, councillors heard.
Plans for an ‘innovation hub’ aimed at start-up businesses are also being drawn up with an aspiration to make it the greenest office building in the UK, according to developers.
Tom Gilman, managing director of McLaren Regeneration which is one of the developers overseeing the project, told councillors work on the homes could begin in 2026 and finish by 2028.
It comes as Mr Gilman and others involved with the development provided updates on its progress to York Council’s Corporate Services, Climate Change and Scrutiny Management Committee.
The updates follow the approval of a Government Hub office building for civil servants in July.
That came after McLaren Regeneration and Arlington Real Estate were appointed as the key developers for the site in December 2023.
