Sheffield £35m residential site in the works
DETAILS of a £35m regeneration project involving the construction of private and student residential developments have been submitted to Sheffield City Council.
The site between Summerfield Street and Pear Street, near the old Wards Brewery has seen an “overwhelmingly” positive response in a public consultation programme over the proposed development, and will create an estimated 300 jobs.
It will be between six and 12 storeys and delivered by Sheffield-based architects Bond Bryan on behalf of Hallminster Ltd, at MAF Properties offices.
Dan Simpson, of Hallminster Ltd, said: “We are very encouraged by the feedback and are looking forward to delivering a high quality scheme that will regenerate a key brownfield site long overdue for redevelopment and bring even more life to the Ecclesall Road area.”
A total of 130 high specification private apartments and 44 student apartments are planned, with shops at ground level as part of the proposed development on the site of the former Pentagon Vauxhall car dealership.
The project is being delivered by Hallminster Ltd. Ownership of the land, its redevelopment and its management would remain in the same local hands.
Several elements of the design have been updated to incorporate feedback from the public consultation and following a presentation to the Sheffield Sustainable Development and Design Panel.
Details have been submitted to the council with a view to construction starting in the autumn and the first residents arriving in summer 2017.
