Great Rail Journeys, the tour operator headquartered in York, has leased the fourth and fifth floors, including the top floor terrace, of the HQ building on a 10 year lease with a tenant's option to break at the end of the 6^th year at an average headline rental of £26 psf subject to a short rent free period.

Hudson Quarter has a total of 39,200 sq ft of office space which is EPC 'A', BREEAM Excellent and WiredScore Platinum rated. In 2020, Palace Capital set a new record for office rents in York in February 2020 when it leased 4,700 sq ft at £25 psf to solicitors Knights LLP.

Neil Sinclair, Chief Executive commented, "The latest letting we have secured at Hudson Quarter, York reflects the renewed demand we are seeing among occupiers for high quality, well connected office space, as well as the higher levels of office returns in the regions. When we launched HQ, it was the first grade A office space to be available in the York market for over 15 years and with constrained supply and an additional 3,600 sq ft under offer, we are pleased with the progress we are making against this market backdrop."
