Images showing the progress of a major retail and leisure destination in North Yorkshire have been revealed - which shows the scale of the buildings and how the development is going.
The Scotch Corner Designer Village, which was scheduled to open in October 2023, but was pushed back to September 2024, has been earmarked as a major destination for shoppers from North Yorkshire and the North East alike.
Take a look at the new images of Scotch Corner Designer Village:
Promotional material released by the developers says the village is 'set to be the leading outlet and leisure destination in the whole of the North of England'.
In images from the site, it shows the comparison between images from September 2023 (which are included below).
Once complete, the outlet village will boast 80 outlets with Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi’s, Calvin Klein, Adidas and Joules among the brands already confirmed.
Since the last update, which teased some of the brands that would be coming to the designer village, word on the venue has gone quiet.
However, images taken on Monday (February 20) show the development is starting to take shape, with the majority of the steel structure in place, and some of the brickwork for the development in place.
Despite the progress, and the designer village becoming evident on the side of the A1(M), no official word on an update on the designer village has been made.
In the last update, which was at the end of 2023, the developers said: "Reflecting the heritage and character of a Yorkshire village, Scotch Corner will attract over four million visitors a year in phase one and grow strongly from there."

The developers say independent research shows that it will be the UK's top six outlet in its first phase, moving to number four in the UK once at full maturity.
Alongside the designer shops, the site will also boast a huge Blue Diamond garden centre and 2,000 parking spaces.
It will have electric vehicle charging points, a dog walking trail, food outlets and 'integrated leisure creating an exciting mix of interactive, immersive, fun and educational experiences for the whole family'.
