The first tenant has moved into a York office block after it completed a major refurbishment.
York-based Ardent Financial Planning has agreed to become the first tenant of the newly revamped Colonia House on Toft Green, which sits close to the Hudson Quarter residential development.
Just a five-minute walk from York station, it is also close to the Hampton by Hilton Hotel and The Grand Hotel, as well as Micklegate, with its mix of shops, restaurants and cafés.
Office spaces are still available across its two remaining floors.
Sitting within the city walls, Colonia House takes its name from the Roman colonia that once occupied this part of York, where retired legionary soldiers and merchants first built a thriving civilian town nearly 2,000 years ago.
It’s being jointly marketed by specialist commercial property consultants Garness Jones and Colenso Property.
George Schofield, associate director at Garness Jones said: “Offering high-quality, contemporary office space in one of York’s most connected and characterful locations, Colonia House blends modern business standards with the enduring heritage and prestige of its historic surroundings.”


James Ratcliffe, head of commercial agency at Colenso Property, handled the letting to Ardent and said “Colonia House provides some of the highest-quality and most accessible office space within the city walls.
“We only have the ground and first floor remaining within the building which is yet to be fully marketed post refurbishment and hence I do not expect they will be around for long.”
