Plans in for seven storey development on former motor retailer site

Sheffield property developer Crossbow Ventures has submitted plans to Sheffield Council for 50 apartments in the Kelham Island area of the city on a former motor retailer site.

The seven storey development, previously home to Carr Motors, has been designed by Sheffield’s CODA Studios, working with the council planning department.

“This is a key site at the entrance to historic Kelham Island and we feel we have designed something that complements the area but also meets all the eco-friendly criteria of 21st century living,” said Coda managing director David Cross.

“CODA has been a key player in the regeneration of the Kelham Island and Shalesmoor area of Sheffield.

“Our student development at Dunfields, a close neighbour to this development, was an award winner for CODA and we are confident that this new project will have a similarly positive impact on the area.”

CODA and Crossbow were also the key partners in the development of the £1m eco-friendly Krynkl commercial development at Shalesmoor, the Palatine Gardens scheme in nearby Henry Street and the recently completed Bento development at Shalesmoor.

Cross added: “We have demonstrated quite clearly that this is a prime location for renewed growth and regeneration and we feel the Carr Motors site will be one more reason for people to look at Kelham Island and Shalesmoor as the perfect choice for urban living in the future.

“Crossbow’s past and future projects in the area now gross over £20m.”
