RETAIL SPACES ON GROUND FLOOR

HULL'S former Debenhams building - which spans from Prospect Street to Ferensway - could soon be brought back to life as a major accommodation block if plans are approved by Hull City Council.
The mammoth 180,000 sq ft site has been vacant since May 2021, with much of the Debenhams signage still on display.
Earlier this year, property developer DBG Group announced they had “ambitious plans” for the city centre building. They added they were “excited to bring it back to life.”
A planning application has since been submitted to Hull City Council for the vacant retail site to be transformed into 178 apartments. 175 of the units would be one-bedroom apartments whilst 3 would have two-bedrooms.
