Urban Splash given go-ahead for fresh phase at Park Hill

Urban Splash and Places for People have been given the thumbs-up for a fourth phase of development at Park Hill, Sheffield.

The latest phase will see 125 new flats added to the redevelopment of the Grade II listed Brutalist structure. A total of 455 new homes, accommodation for 356 students and more than 50,000 sq ft of workspace has been developed at the iconic site over the past decade.

The fourth phase, designed by Mikhail Riches, also comprises a new public realm, EV charging, a car club and bike storage and 4,700 sq ft of ground-floor commercial space.

Steve Thomas, development manager at Park Hill, said: “This building is culturally and architecturally significant for Sheffield and for a long time now we have committed to bringing it back to life, nurturing a new community and giving the city a new place in which to live, work and play.

“Landscaping and public realm have been key to that and this planning approval is the culmination of engagement and listening to residents over the summer, taking on board their desires and ensuring that we evolved our plans to give the community what it needs – not just more well-designed homes and great amenities – but green spaces and facilities that encourage sustainable travel.”

Urban Splash and Places for People have worked in joint venture partnership on the development of Park Hill since 2013. The pair will commence construction on the new phase early in 2024.
