More homes to go on sale at Park Hill regeneration
A sales office for phase two of Sheffield’s Park Hill redevelopment, showcasing the site and plans of the accommodation available, has now opened.
It is ready for 29 February, when the first release of off-plan homes – to include one beds from £135,000, two beds from £160,000 and three beds from £195,000 – will go on sale.
Residents for phase two are expected to move in during summer 2021.
This new phase of Park Hill, the joint venture between Urban Splash and Places for People, will see a further 195 homes; 20,000 sq ft of mixed-use commercial space providing the opportunity for a variety of offices and workspaces – as well as a new café, restaurant and terrace.
Guy Ackernley, on behalf of the joint venture partners, said: “Phase two is the next chapter in the renaissance of this iconic building.
“We have worked to create a new style of living spaces that are slightly different in their configuration to those in phase one, yet sympathetic to the original design and look.
“Anticipation and expectation is high given the attention Park Hill attracts, but we are confident we have delivered what residents will want.”
The latest homes have been designed by architects Mikhail Riches.
Founding Director of Mikhail Riches, Annalie Riches, said: “We are delighted to be working on phase two of Park Hill and playing a part in saving this important building.
“Our phase looks at keeping more of the original fabric and upgrading it. We hope that the work being carried out by all involved in the various phases demonstrates it is possible to reuse buildings of this era.”
Sheffield based furniture retailer, Nest was appointed to furnish the sales office and showroom of the historic Park Hill building, one of the earliest examples of Brutalist architecture in Britain.
Gemma Trebble, new business consultant at Nest, said: “It’s an amazing opportunity to be able to work on such an iconic building and be a part of this award-winning venture.
“To be able to aid the rebirth of such a Sheffield landmark and contribute to the beauty of the city is a huge honour, and we couldn’t be more pleased to take on this contract.”
Park Hill was constructed between 1957 and 1961 and its streets in the sky was seen as pioneering. In total over £100m will be invested in regenerating the site.
