Sheffield City Council’s landmark Heart of the City development has collected another award; this time being named Commercial Public – Private Partnership of the Year.
The project has seen a large part of Sheffield city centre transformed into a mixture of high-quality office space, retail units, residential apartments and leisure venues. As part of the partnership, Sheffield City Council and Queensberry have worked together to regenerate the area, which contained several landmark buildings including the Grade II* listed former ‘Little Mesters’ workshops at Leah’s Yard. Creating units that offer top of the range facilities within venues once utilised as part of the city’s industrial past.
Cllr Ben Miskell, Chair of the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee at Sheffield City Council, said:
“Our fantastic Heart of the City development has improved that area of the city centre beyond all recognition. The way iconic buildings have been incorporated, giving a nod to the city’s vitally important history, was always part of the plan while, at the same time, offering the very best facilities the market demands.
“This prestigious award is the perfect recognition for the job both teams have done in working together and I congratulate all involved on a job incredibly well done.”
The Heart of the City project includes award-winning venues such as Pounds Park, Cambridge Street Collective Food Hall, along with several retail units, bars, cafes and restaurants with many, many more still to be announced.
