Getting Building Fund - Huddersfield George Hotel acquisition and remedial works

The George Hotel is a Grade 2 listed building closed since 2013. It’s strategic location adjacent to the Railway station and gateway to Huddersfield affords an opportunity to redevelop the Hotel as a mixed-use facility including offices and leisure facilities. The Hotel plays a prominent role in the delivery of the Huddersfield Blueprint, a ten-year masterplan to modernise the town centre. Acquisition and essential remedial works for the George will provide an investment opportunity to deliver a better balanced town centre, new and improved Grade A office space, and act as a catalyst for the wider regeneration of the town centre.
