Key Information

LEP Area: South Yorkshire

GDV: £100m+

Overview

Heart of the City II is a landmark £470m scheme that is set to transform a key area of Sheffield city centre.

With a development capacity of 1.5 million sq ft, it is being delivered by Sheffield City Council, with Queensberry as its strategic delivery partner.

It is expected that Heart of the City II will attract new retailers to the city centre. The scheme will provide Grade A office space, two 4 or 5-star hotels, residential developments, restaurants and cafés, leisure destinations, parking and stunning public spaces – all creating the type of high-quality central quarter that helps attract jobs and investment.

The ambitious scheme will create a vibrant quarter at the heart of the city, which will become the new focal point of Sheffield’s retail, leisure and business offer.

Heart of the City II is being developed through a phase-by-phase approach, which provides the flexibility to change layouts and designs along the way and adapt to future demands.  It is envisaged that 6,923 new jobs will be created, post construction, on the completion of the project in 2024/2025.
