This is the latest prominent city centre building snapped up by York property company North Star.
It has bought 48 Coney Street, which is now home to TK Maxx.
The company says it is now ‘looking at options for areas of the building that are currently under-utilised’.

The 32,000 sq ft building has been a TK Maxx store since 2010 and was previously a Boots shop.
TK Maxx has five years left to run on its lease, with break options.
A North Star spokesperson said: “This acquisition underlines our commitment and enthusiasm for York and heralds another major investment in the city.
“York is a tremendous place to live, work and invest and we will continue to back and support it wherever we can.
