Kings Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 If it’s turned into flats what is the current valuation of the property? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Grey Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I've always walked past and thought they would be great student flats I wish I'd make the council an offer years ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron99 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) I didn't realise until yesterday that the old HMRC building on Young St., just over the road from the Moorfoot building is now apartments & renamed 'Iron Yard'.

I don't want it. The council love these developments as they generate more council tax. The property developers love it for obvious reasons. How many more hipsters and yuppies can Sheffield cram in? It's another corner of the city centre being residentialised. City centres are not supposed to be a suburb. They should be places to visit, not live. I've always found the building in question to be interesting, from an architectural perspective. I'd like to see something like The Shard in London in Sheffield city centre and this building would be perfect for it. There could be a restaurant on the top floor, with views all over the city, an art gallery on one floor, a cinema on another, a bar on another and some retail space at the bottom, for a Hobb's, Russell & Bromley, Michael Kors, all of the shops that the city centre is missing. It would also provide more footfall for the Moorfoot Market. Alas, it's going to be more apartments...😪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its because of the heritage numpties that the Sheffield's Old Town Hall has been empty and decaying since 1995 They'll be sorry when it finally collapses or burns down in a fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, the town hall is still in use as a wedding venue, council HQ and birth registry office. Moorfoot House is a fine building, nothing wrong with it and much better than having building after building that all look the same. My point is about the repurposing, not so much the fact of saving the building though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
