The mixed-use scheme, designed by Surface Architects, is the fourth development at Humber Quays and will incorporate a 200-seat waterfront restaurant with a mezzanine cocktail bar, together with a detached coffee bar within the main plaza, which will serve office users and visitors through the day. The 6/7 storey scheme will offer office space on two floors, with residential accommodation above along with spectacular views of the Humber Estuary and Hull Marina.

It is expected to complete by Autumn 2009.

John Holmes, chief executive of Hull Citybuild said: "After a competitive selection process, we are delighted to announce Nikal as our preferred development partner for this key project. We have been exceptionally pleased with their first development, Freedom Quay, both in terms of quality and their commitment to engaging local contractors. The design concept for the scheme is exciting and when completed will be a significant addition to this prime business district"
 
Jonny Wrigley, development director at Nikal added: "Humber Quays continues to transform Hull, reconnecting the waterfront with the city centre.  It is going to be one of the most desirable locations for people and business in the north of England and we are delighted to be a part of it"
 
"The restaurant within the scheme will be a destination in its own right and will certainly be a great asset to the new business district."
