“We’re a city on the up and it’s right that we shout about the great things happening here.”
That’s according to Sheffield City Council leader Tom Hunt who has high hopes for 2024.
Here we take a look at 14 of the best.
1. Moorfoot
2024 is likely to be the year Sheffield’s biggest office block is given the green light to be converted into flats.
2. Moorfoot
Moorfoot is at the heart of a plan for 700 homes drawn up by Sheffield City Council and Homes England. Owned by the council, and underused since the work from home boom, it could be next in line for a big grant from the government body. Images show the familiar red brick hidden by new cladding and trees. This image shows several new blocks around Moorfoot including one on the old Staples site, two on the current Wickes DIY store and car park and at least one on the 'El Paso' restaurant block bounded by Moorfoot, Cumberland Street and South Lane.
3. Grantside
Norfolk Street. A new office block in the city centre is a rarity. Grantside gained permission for a six-storey building on the corner of Norfolk and Charles streets after lopping floors off to make it less overbearing. The developer claims the supply of Grade ‘A’ offices in the city centre is at a historic low. Set to include retail and 'active space' on the ground floor. The project will start with the demolition of unwanted buildings.
4. Thornseat Lodge
