SheffieldForum Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Plans to transform the former Cole Brothers building in Barker’s Pool are one step closer with Urban Splash signing a lease for the building with the Council. The ambitious plans will see the space turn into a mixed-use entertainment, leisure and retail venue. In the coming months, the award-winning regeneration company will begin consulting with the people of Sheffield on their plans for the building and gathering thoughts and ideas. The proposals would see the building become an exciting mixed-use scheme comprising flexible workspace and cafes/retail/leisure/cultural uses/event space which are all considered to be complementary uses to the rest of the Heart of the City project. Bringing this listed building back into active use will be hugely beneficial both for the wider city centre and the surrounding Heart of the City scheme.

SheffieldForum Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 The Quotes: Cllr Tom Hunt, Chair of the Strategy and Resources Committee, said: “It is fantastic to see another significant milestone achieved for this project. The former Cole Brothers building is an important and much loved part of Sheffield city centre and it will be great to breathe new life back into it. The work complements the schemes already being developed across the city including the Heart of the City, West Bar, and Fargate. We are creating a city centre that will be a destination for people to come and relax, shop, eat, work, and drink.” Nathan Cornish, Group Board Director at Urban Splash, said: “We are delighted to have been chosen by Sheffield City Council to regenerate this iconic building. Almost everyone I meet from Sheffield has a story to tell and we’re thrilled to be playing a part in its next chapter. We are still in the early stages and we are looking forward to consulting with the local community and stakeholders as we start to work up our plans.” 1 Sheffield Forum | The Sheffield Guide | The Sheffield Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Swaine Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Sounds good but aren't Urban Splash the company who ran out of money and failed to complete the Park Hill development? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a small company that was given the monumental task of redeveloping the whole of the Park Hill project. The project is 5 x Phases and they barely have the money to do one at a time so its taken 20 years to complete 3 of the Phases They are just about to start Phase 4 which should take another 5 years to complete So it will in theory take them 30 years to complete the whole project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
