SFGE Properties has received planning approval from Sheffield City Council for a 40-storey tower providing 428 co-living homes.
The King’s Tower site on Sheffield High Street has been vacant since Primark moved out seven years ago.
The site has been demolished and work on the tower will start in summer 2024. The scheme was designed by Hodder + Partners. Savills handled planning application.
SFGE Properties director Tony Marsden said: “The proposal will provide a key statement building for Sheffield City Centre to support meeting its much-needed housing requirement.
“We have been a long-term stakeholder in the regeneration of the city centre and, in particular, the Castlegate area, having delivered developments on either side of Angel Street.”
Savills planning director Matthew Sobic said: “The plans will see the re-purposing of long-term vacant commercial floorspace in the city centre which will provide new homes and active ground floor commercial and amenity uses that will serve residents of the development, and the wider area.”
