House builder shifts to larger HQ to accommodate growth

Sheffield-based house builder Sky-House Co has moved to a new headquarters.

The company was previously based at the Centenary Business Park in Woodseats, Sheffield.

But as the business continues to expand, it has relocated to Hope Works in Mowbray Street, close to Sheffield city centre.

Co-founder and CEO, David Cross, said: “Following another year of incredible growth, we realised we needed more space and that we also needed to be in a location that would be convenient for both our clients and contractors.

“Hope Works is the ideal place for us as it is just a short walk from Sheffield city centre and is easily accessed from the M1, with fantastic public transport links too.

“Equally important for us, it is very convenient for some of our important on-going developments, including the Waverley site and two new Sheffield projects, Copper Street in Shalesmoor and Egerton Street at Devonshire Green.

“The past five years have seen us grow to a team of 32 and as we acquire new sites that number will increase, meaning we definitely need space to expand.

“We have become one of Sheffield’s largest independent house building businesses and our new HQ gives us that room for growth.

“We are also pleased to be returning to the historic Kelham Island area, where the Sky-House Co vision was born.”

Sky-House Co is one of the leading developers of the Waverley site between Sheffield and Rotherham, where two new projects – Waverley Central and Olive Lane – are now under way.

Other schemes have included two north Sheffield developments – Stocksbridge and the former British Tissues site in Oughtibridge – and Rother Valley.

Copper Street and Egerton Street are also bringing the Sky-House concept – based on a 21st century revival of Victorian and Georgian urban design principles – to the heart of the city.
