Fitzwilliam Street / Cavendish Street

Student Accommodation / Leisure / Retail

Acme Sumanco, Fitzwilliam Street

Land assembly involving the purchase of the Acme Surmanco scissor works and adjoining properties with a view to developing the large scale major student accommodation scheme in Sheffield city centre.

The successful design revolutionised the local authority’s acceptance of city centre living schemes by incorporating 372 student bed spaces alongside a new outdoor piazza and retail / leisure offer connecting Fitzwilliam Street to Cavendish Street with Grade A office space above.

The site was sold with the benefit of the new consents providing the planning precedence and template for the successful West One project.
