Build-to-rent apartments planned for city regeneration site

Plans have been submitted to Sheffield City Council for a new build-to-rent apartment scheme in the Nursery Street area.

Developed by the Parklane Group, the project designed by the team at CODA Architecture features a mix of 102 studios, one-bed, and two-bed apartments.

The proposed scheme features amenities such as a gym, co-working and meeting spaces, a garden terrace, private dining room for hosting dinner parties and a podcasting studio.

Leeds-based Parklane Group’s previous Sheffield schemes include transformation a former bakery in the Castle Gate area into 12 one-bedroom apartments.

CODA director, Matt Bowker, said: “This is a high quality development in what we believe is an increasingly attractive area of Sheffield.

“This particular site has been awaiting redevelopment for something like 20 years now and we see this project as very much at the heart of the Wicker Riverside area.

“Following the regeneration of Kelham Island and Neepsend, the Wicker Riverside is the logical next step in the redevelopment of this part of the city centre.

“We feel the success of this application will be a key towards unlocking the next phase of vital regeneration.”

Haaris Ahmed, of the Parklane Group, added: “Our partnership with CODA Architecture ensures the development not only meets the highest standards of design and functionality but also harmonises with Sheffield’s cultural and historical landscape.

“By focusing on the Wicker area, PLG aims to contribute significantly to the neighbourhood’s renewal, creating a vibrant community hub that attracts residents and visitors alike.

“The Nursery Street scheme is envisioned as a catalyst for further development, bringing new life and energy to this key part of Sheffield.”
