5: Freedom Quay
Despite nervousness in the residential property market, the luxurious penthouse at Freedom Quay has bucked the trend and sold, reportedly to a local businessman.
The three-bedroom apartment worth £450,000, which features its own private lobby, secure lift and extensive outdoor living space, completed last month and, according to property developer Nikal, the new owner has already moved in, just in time for Christmas.
Designed by Shepheard Epstein Hunter, one of the UK's most renowned residential architecture practices, the superb penthouse has been created to offer the highest standard of 21st century living in the heart of the newly energised Humber Quays waterfront development.
Jonny Wrigley, development director at Nikal, comments: 'The Freedom Quay development has proved extremely popular and we are thrilled that we have sold the penthouse. The local businessman, and new resident of the penthouse, was so taken with the property when he saw it that he put in an offer the very same day and we look forward to welcoming him into his new home.'
Boasting a master suite with walk-in dressing room, en-suite bathroom and floor-to-ceiling french doors out onto the breakfast terrace, the apartment also features a second double bedroom complete with en-suite as well as the option of a further bedroom or study off the living space. In addition, this unique penthouse has a contemporary, high-spec kitchen and spacious living area with direct access to the al fresco dining terrace and out-door lounge.
The stunning location of Freedom Quay means the penthouse provides breath-taking views out over the marina as well as being conveniently placed for easy access to major local employers and the city centre.
John Holmes, Chief Executive at Hull Forward, the Economic Development Company (EDC) for the city, said: 'Humber Quays, Hull's new waterfront business district, has quickly established a reputation for being Hull's most sought after business premises, which is evident by the number of high-profile tenants it has already attracted including The Royal Bank of Scotland, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Barclays Commercial, World Trade Centre Hull & Humber and Chameleon Business Interiors. The development of Freedom Quay has added to the area's vibrancy further by providing a superb residential complex with some of the best views in the city.'

Vision The Albert Avenue area will continue to be a successful and popular residential
neighbourhood, benefiting from improvements to properties and streets. New energy efficient family ‘eco’ housing at the Riley College site will contribute to the area’s desirability, as will investment in the playing field.
Proposals The main opportunity that lies within this area is the former Riley College site. New housing here will add to the quality of the supply of housing through providing a greater range of types than is currently available, across a wider mix of tenures. Designing to minimise
flood risk, which is a necessity here, does present the opportunity for generous gardens and a green, family-friendly environment.

Plans for public art in west Hull
Vision
As well as being an important east-west route into the city centre and convenient public transport corridor,
Anlaby Road will be a pleasant, attractive and accessible environment for pedestrians. A variety of businesses will flourish here and people will be proud to call Anlaby Road home. The street will become a lively shop window for what Newington & St Andrew’s has to offer. Proposals
A number of design interventions will be implemented with the objective of generating a more pleasant, attractive and accessible environment for pedestrians. The focus of the proposals is on designing high quality facilities for pedestrian on routes that they want to use and on calming traffic at locations where pedestrians cross.
Side roads connecting with Anlaby Road would be treated with a raised surface (side road entry treatment) to allow pedestrians to walk along the street with greater ease.
Crossings on Anlaby Road would also be raised to improve pedestrian facilities with some new crossing points being added. Improved pedestrian crossing points are proposed for key junctions (in addition to the Anlaby Road ‘super crossing’ that actually falls within the West Park area).
Más sobre NASA - Anlaby Road31: NaSA - Hawthorn Avenue
Vision
Hawthorn Avenue will be transformed
into a tree-lined boulevard with generous pedestrian and cycle routes framed by 3-storey townhouses. Either side, a contemporary and spacious interpretation of Victorian and Edwardian housing will provide popular housing that exceeds current expectations. Community and retail facilities surrounding an attractive space will provide a focus and the identity for area, and a large formal park and more informal green network will provide a stunning green backdrop to a family-focused sustainable community.Proposals
Hawthorn Avenue area is the neighbourhood which will be subject to most change.
The range of properties in the area is limited and is dominated by small terraced stock. The area contains the highest proportion of court terraces and, although these houses have a role to play in the housing market, they are over-represented here. Other major weaknesses which need to be addressed are the lack of green infrastructure, in terms of parks and open spaces and environmentally attractive streets and public realm.
The starting point for the regeneration of Hawthorn Avenue
is therefore a combination of improvement to existing housing and streets, plus a new well planned and designed redevelopment of energy efficient homes on sites made available through clearance. This will be achieved by housing-led redevelopment of the former Amy Johnson School site and much of the area to the east of Hawthorn Avenue, mixed use-led development of the Tradex site on Anlaby road and streetscape and frontage improvements to those streets shown on the proposals plan.
Más sobre NaSA - Hawthorn Avenue32: NaSA- West Park
Vision
West Park will be restored to its former glory
as a playground for people of the city and beyond. It will also be highly accessible to the people of Newington & St Andrew’s, forming part of an extended Green Lung that snakes down towards the Humber, marked by a new square. Neighbouring housing will form one of the most characterful areas of the city. Proposals
Newington & St Andrew’s is fortunate to have a city-scale park
such as West Park on its doorstep. The park has a good range of activities and is generally well-ordered. However, both physical and psychological barriers affect the use of the park by surrounding residents, hampering the success of this space. The surrounding roads have inappropriately located and designed crossing points, and high traffic volumes discourage active use. The park is reasonably clean and tidy, but appears under-invested, with signage, lighting, furniture and facilities all giving a tired impression. Additionally, the attractions seem fragmented and uncoordinated.Más sobre NaSA- West Park34: NaSA - Boulevard
Vision
The Green Lung proposals, focused on exemplary community sports and relaxation facilities, will transform a string of under-performing open spaces and facilities. Smart and sizable new housing will front onto the green spaces, adding variety to the housing offer. With the potential for a new secondary school added to the mix, it is clear that the Boulevard area will be a key focus for the rebirth of Newington & St Andrew’s. Proposals
The development of the Green Lung concept
will change people’s perceptions of the area.This is a significant structural change that will put Newington and St Andrew’s on the city map for all the right reasons.
The Green Lung will contain all the facilities a community of this size will need in an environment that is well connected into its neighbourhood, well designed, well maintained, safe and well overlooked.Más sobre NaSA - Boulevard35: NaSA- Hessle Road
Vision
Hessle Road will continue to be a vibrant and successful district centre,
serving a catchment beyond that of Newington & St. Andrew’s. It will be seen as a quality location – somewhere where people enjoy being and find easy to use. There will be a multitude of things to do in smart surroundings. Traffic and pedestrians will happily co-exist in a thoroughfare designed more for people than motor vehicles. Proposals
As a shopping and service centre, Hessle Road is relatively successful and stable
– the proportion of vacant units has not significantly increased over the past 4 years. This situation needs to be supported well into the future. The trees along the road are a positive feature, and there are a number of buildings of a high architectural quality which add to the character and identity of the centre. Some however need investment to their frontages and signage to maintain the quality of the shopping street.
These interventions will sit alongside public realm improvements that will generate a more pleasant, attractive and accessible environment for pedestrians and achieve a step change in streetscape quality. Más sobre NaSA- Hessle Road36: NaSA- Coltman Street
Vision
Taking a lead from the Conservation Areas that bookend the neighbourhood,
the whole of the Coltman Street area will become a highly attractive and popular place to live, benefiting from good housing and easy access to services. Varied and interesting new housing will be provided around new and improved public spaces, and the appearance of existing homes will be upgraded.
Proposals
Several hundred properties will benefit from frontage improvement works. This will ensure an increase in the popularity of these homes and enable them to remain choice properties within this type. This includes the court terraces which, as a small proportion of the overall housing offer, have the potential to provide reasonably priced entry level housing.
There will also be demolition and redevelopment for new housing of properties on Wellsted Street and Gee Street. Removal of some of most problematic and least desirable housing within this area will allow a better quality and range of housing to be built within the area. The appearance of new housing should relate to the local distinctiveness of the wider Coltman Street area. This site in particular may offer opportunities to engage community groups in the construction and management of housing.
Más sobre NaSA- Coltman Street37: NaSA - Dairycoates
Vision
The Dairycoates area will be a model mixed-use neighbourhood.
Housing – new and old – will coexist with large employment opportunities and open space, and all within a five-minute walk of great shopping, leisure and community facilities.
Proposals
Aside from the demolitions and rebuilding already planned around Woodcock Street as part of the Neighbourhood Renewal Area programme, Dairycoates will benefit from general improvements rather than any major change or development.
Additional new housing actions will be limited to building a relatively small number of dwellings at Junella Fields and on land being cleared west of Woodcock Street, an underutilised site that that can be susceptible to anti-social behaviour. Frontage improvement works will be undertaken to properties on Somerset Street.
Community facilities will be improved, including environmental works to Newington Primary School and an upgrade to the setting of the community centre at Edinburgh Street. Más sobre NaSA - Dairycoates49: Tower
Carnival fever as Tower reopens
http://www.thisishullandeastriding.c...l/article.htmlONE of Hull's oldest entertainment venues is back in business.
The former Tower Cinema reopened its doors last night under a new name – Club Rio.
With dancing Brazilian-style carnival queens, palm trees and a 25ft waterfall cascading down behind one of the bars, it was a far cry from the original opening night back in 1914 when an orchestra entertained guests before they settled down to watch a black and white silent film.
The Anlaby Road venue closed as a nightclub almost three years ago.
Since then its owner Northern European Leisure and Hull City Council have been locked in a wrangle over delays to refurbishment work on the grade two-listed building.
Last year the company was fined £2,000 and ordered to pay £500 costs after the council took legal action over its failure to reinstate the decorative rooftop domes that were removed during a previous facelift.
However, the distinctive twin domes have recently been restored and last night ushered in a new era for one of the best-known city centre nightspots.
Arthur Wilder, a consultant for Northern European Leisure, said: "We have spent about £50,000 on the domes and have still got a bit of work to do to put the head stones back on top of them."We always said when we closed the club it would only be temporary because of the changes going on with the licensing laws and the big development in Ferensway, but the council kept on at us over all sorts of things.
"Eventually they threatened to prosecute if we didn't allow then access to the building so I arranged a date to meet someone and they never even turned up."
Mr Wilder said the new South American theme replaced an African one tried out when the club briefly operated under the name of Vision before its 2005 closure.
He said: "We've kept some of the interior features but we've also changed things quite a bit too, including heightening the dance floor."

Politicians are being urged to back moves to create Hull's first officially designated nature reserves.
At the moment, there is not a single designated Local Nature Reserve in the city, but a study by ecology experts has identified three potential sites.
They say land at the Bransholme fishing lake off Noddle Hill Way, and Rockford Fields in east Hull are both "ecologically excellent".
The former Calvert Lane railway sidings in west Hull are rated "ecologically outstanding".

Formerly Tropical Knights
Change of use from pub/nightclub (A4 use) to education/training facility (D1 use) with ancillary offices and storage.
Plans floated for former marina bar
Friday, May 01, 2009, 06:30
A FORMER marina bar could be transformed into the base for a new sailing initiative aimed at jobless youngsters.
If recently-submitted plans are given the go-ahead, the former Tropical Knights bar in Humber Dock Street will become the home of Cat.Zero, the not-for-profit organisation behind the controversial scheme.
Under the project, teenagers without a job or a college place will be offered the chance to take to the North Sea in an ocean-going 72ft yacht as part of a life skills training programme.
The purchase of the £500,000 yacht by NHS Hull, the city's primary care trust, along with £1.3m worth of support for the project from the One Hull strategic partnership has already attracted criticism from local politicians.
With funding secured, however, the last major hurdle to overcome is the search for a base.
Now a planning application to change the use of the derelict bar has been submitted to Hull City Council.
Subject to being granted approval, the property is being made available to Cat.Zero by city economy company Hull Forward, which owns a number of premises in the Fruit Market area.
If agreed, the training organisation plans to carry out some internal refurbishment before moving in.
Cat.Zero chairman Jim Dick said: "This opportunity offers so many benefits – not only do we acquire the facilities we need on a short-term let basis extremely cost effectively, but we can also provide enhanced experiences to young people on our programmes.
"In addition, this part of the marina and Fruit Market area will have some life breathed back into it until the larger scale regeneration takes place."
If planning consent is approved, the aim is the refurbishment work will be completed in time for the start of the Clipper Round The World Yacht Race in September.
John Holmes, chief Executive of Hull Forward, said: "Cat.Zero offers significant benefits to the city's future in terms of helping some of our most disadvantaged young people in getting back on track and making their lives much more positive.
"As part of the Cat.Zero activity is water-based, it makes perfect sense to have this marina location, providing an inviting place where the city's young people can engage with team members."

Able UK a major North-East company has today announced multi-million pound plans for a 1,630-metre quay - one of the largest in the UK - confident that a number of offshore wind manufacturers and supply companies are headed to Northern Lincolnshire. The £400m investment, if all goes to plan, will make the Humber the centre of the UK's offshore wind industry, with the company confident no other location is able to compete with the Humber and the South Humber Gateway site in particular.
