Work is scheduled to begin in the next few weeks on the latest apartment development in the increasingly popular Kelham Island area.

Kelham Gate, an iconic seven story development of 49 apartments on the site of the former Carr Motors at the edge of the historic city industrial quarter has been designed by the team at award winning Sheffield multi-disciplinary practice Coda Studios.

“This is a key site at the entrance to historic Kelham Island  and we feel we have designed something that complements the area but also meets all the eco-friendly criteria of 21st century living,” said Coda managing director David Cross.

“Coda has been a key player in the regeneration of the Kelham Island and Shalesmoor area of Sheffield and with this development we are aiming for first time buyers rather than investors.

“Our student development at Dunfields, a close neighbour to this development, was an award winner for Coda and we are confident that this new project will have a similarly positive impact on the area.”

Coda were also key partners in the development of the acclaimed £1million eco-friendly Krynkl commercial development at Shalesmoor, the acclaimed Palatine Gardens scheme in nearby Henry Street  and the Bento project at Shalesmoor.

“We have demonstrated quite clearly that this is a prime location for renewed growth and regeneration and we feel the Carr Motors site will be one more reason for people to look at Kelham Island and Shalesmoor as the perfect choice for urban living in the future,” said David.

“Past and future projects we have worked on in the area now gross over £20 million and we know there is still a genuine thirst for property in this increasingly popular area.”

Properties are expected to be ready for autumn 2019 and agents for the site will be Sheffield company Shefflets, with the project delivered by Coda and Broadfield Management on behalf of a private developer.
