Queensberry Real Estate has been selected as the preferred developer of the £480m Sheffield Retail Quarter.
Sheffield council chose the company ahead of Aspire Development Management, which had both been shortlisted. Lendlease had also be shortlisted but withdrew.
Work is due to start on the project next year with the majority of the scheme due to open in 2019. The 900,000 sq ft project has been designed by Leonard Design Architects.
An outline planning application was submitted last August for the development, which will see the area between Barkers Pool, Pinstone Street and Charter Square transformed with new shops, offices, restaurants and flats.
