Heart of the City is a true mixed-use development creating new social spaces, homes, shopping, restaurants, cafés & bars, experiences, workspace & creative hubs – all whilst showcasing our incredible culture, character & heritage. Led by Sheffield City Council & our Strategic Development Partner, Queensberry.

It is no secret that high streets across the country have faced challenges over the past decade & no one could have prepared for the impacts of a global pandemic. However, Sheffield is a resilient city & we remain steadfast in our commitment to Heart of the City & our ambitious plans for the City Centre. With global anchors like HSBC, CMS & Radisson Blu at its core, Heart of the City is a cornerstone project that will contribute significantly to our local economic growth, both now & in the future.

Our phased approach is specifically designed to be flexible & adaptable to changing market conditions. When one door shuts, another one opens – the development does not rely on one key element or brand to become viable, successful & sustainable. This enables us to respond to change & the clear trend towards bespoke & tangible experiences.

Retail remains important, enlivening the city centre streets, yards & lanes of our development. Sheffield is an attractive proposition for any national or independent occupier. The fourth largest city in England boasting 61,000 students across two universities & an impressive working catchment of 1.4 million people – not many locations in the UK can compete with that.

There is so much to look forward to in Sheffield City Centre over the next few years, with game changing commercial & residential developments progressing well, an independent cultural & social district being formed along Cambridge Street & stunning central public spaces & parks to rival any city.

Heart of the City is the flagship project that will enable us to build a world-class, sustainable & modern City Centre – one that is reflective of our character & enviable location & enables our economy to thrive for decades to come.
