Piccadilly Syndicate

A three storey purpose built court building in a prominent corner position at the southern end of Piccadilly in York, close to the junction with Tower Street on the city's inner ring road and within easy walking distance of the city centre. Constructed in the late 1980s, it is of cavity brick with stone dressings, double glazed aluminium windows and a pitched hip and ridge tiled roof, and is an unusual irregular shape. It extends to approximately 15,320 sq ft net internal, with a secure covered garage at ground floor level.

Piccadilly House is let in its entirety to The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and is occupied as York Family Court. About half the ground floor is the covered car park, the remainder a security point, judges' chambers, court rooms and public waiting rooms. The first floor provides open plan offices and the public reception, and the second floor further court rooms, advocate rooms and waiting rooms. The immediate surroundings are a mix of residential, commercial and hotel uses.
