A
property development scheme in Yorkshire will continue to go ahead, after it secured funding from Santander Corporate Banking.
Halifax's Broad Street Plaza Development is worth some £50 million and is already 70 per cent pre-let, the Yorkshire Post reports.
The publication states it believes a development facility of £20 million has been provided by Santander, after the organisation expressed interest in bringing the project forward.
David Brimblecombe, managing director of Gregory Projects, says: "To secure a funding deal of this size on a major mixed use scheme in the current climate is fantastic news and a very positive message for the region."
Hundreds of jobs have been created in the
property development scheme, which will include premises such as a cinema, restaurant, offices and a 100-bed hotel, the publication adds.
Santander has more than 1,300 branches and in excess of 25 million customers in the UK and provides both retail and corporate banking services.
