An artist's impression of how the redeveloped Stonebow House should look.
ONE of York's most notorious eyesores is set to be transformed through a major re-development.
Plans have been unveiled to remove 1960s concrete from the lower floors of Stonebow House in the city centre and create 20 luxury apartments on the upper floors.
"Space will be opened up and the building will be fully refurbished for modern commercial use," said a spokesman for the Wetherby-based Oakgate Group, which has submitted the proposals to City of York Council.
"There will also be approximately 31,500 sq ft of retail and leisure space, including shops, cafes and restaurants.”
