Works complete on city’s newest food hall

Henry Boot Construction has completed work on Cambridge Street Collective this week, handing the building over to the food hall operator for the final fit-out.

Cambridge Street Collective is a key development within Heart of the City – the city centre regeneration scheme led by Sheffield City Council and its strategic development manager, Queensberry.

The venue is between Cambridge Street and Wellington Street, behind the distinctive Henry’s Corner and Bethel Sunday School.

Once fit-out work is completed, it will be run by Blend Family – the same company behind Sheffield’s Cutlery Works – and will feature a contemporary food hall, cookery school and rooftop bar.

Construction of this development saw several historic building façades refurbished and integrated into a contemporary new structure.

Tony Shaw, managing director at Henry Boot Construction, said: “Cambridge Street Collective has been an incredible project to be involved with and I’m incredibly proud of the team for delivering such an important and complex development.

“The final product is really striking, with an array of materials contrasting and complementing the restored original architecture.

“Inside is just as impressive and I look forward to seeing it become a thriving space for the city centre’s visitors to enjoy soon.”

Councillor Ben Miskell, chair of the transport, regeneration and climate policy committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “It’s great to see the Cambridge Street Collective development reach practical completion.

“Henry Boot Construction has delivered a fantastic job, blending old with new and protecting the important heritage façade along Cambridge Street.

“The venue, with the impressive food hall space at its core, will be a hugely exciting addition to the city centre and provide a major footfall boost.

“We can’t wait to see the internal fit out coming together over the coming months.”

Andrew Davison, project director at Queensberry, added: “The venue is looking stunning and has delivered a high quality, truly original piece of architecture for Sheffield.

“Once it opens to the public, we have no doubt it will become the leading social hub in the city centre, driving a critical mass of footfall to this area of town – further supporting surrounding businesses, encouraging new ones to open, and acting as a catalyst for further development.”
