The housebuilder will invest £90 million to deliver a new 20-storey apartment block at 98 York Road. In addition, Volkswagen will contribute £10m towards a modern car showroom, which will occupy the ground three floors of the building.
'The Podium' will feature landscaped communal grounds, as well as a basement car park with 87 spaces and 200 cycle parking spaces on the ground floor. Volkswagen's showroom will increase workshop capacity by 20%, and will also have a coffee shop in-branch and Wi-Fi. The facility is scheduled to open in late 2018.
