Beech Holdings has received planning permission for a 158-unit build-to-rent (BTR) development on Meadow Street in Sheffield.
The £55m-GDV Sheffield Gardens scheme will provide a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with the on-site amenity provision including a private gym and rooftop gardens.
Stephen Beech, CEO of Beech Holdings, said: “This is a significant development for Beech Holdings, our very first in Yorkshire and second outside of our home city of Manchester. It demonstrates our commitment to deliver exceptional apartments across the UK’s regional cities as we grow to be a national developer.
“Our company has a 20-year history of delivering exceptional apartment developments and I’m thrilled to be able to offer local people in Sheffield that same standard. We always look to regenerate where we can; this unused and unloved commercial site is in exactly the location we want to breathe new life into. We’ll be creating over 100 immediate jobs for the construction phase and we’ll have a permanent staff of at least 10 to deliver residents a premium level of service and maintenance.”
Neil Baumber, development director at Beech Holdings, added: “We are actively looking at other sites in Sheffield, we feel we can offer the standard of accommodation that local people desire. We’ll be getting to work quickly in the final quarter of this year.”
Demolition of the current dilapidated and unused commercial buildings on site will commence in Q4 this year. The project team includes architect Leach Rhodes Walker, Cumming Group, Hydrock and Urbana.
