Clearance of Hull’s former Debenhams building has commenced and construction will soon be underway, transforming the former store into 178 city centre apartments. It is part of DBG Group Holdings Limited’s multi-million-pound investment in the city.
The building on Prospect Street has stood vacant since 2021.
DBG has already invested more than £20 million across a number of projects in Hull, including the completed Dunedin House (The Merchant) on Percy Street and Shirethorn House (City Point), which have created over 100 new city centre homes.
The redevelopment of the former Debenhams building is anticipated to attract a further £3.7m of private investment into Hull.
DBG has also submitted plans for the former Circus Circus building on Ferensway which, if approved, would see an additional 164 homes and around 5,000sqm of commercial space created.
The total investment for all of these projects is predicated to surpass £75 million.
