Multinational companies, local independents, cafes, and creatives are among the five new businesses moving into Sheffield City Council’s Heart of the City development over the coming months.
They include Danish inspired HYGGE café, an independent local business who are expanding into the ground floor of Elshaw House whilst keeping their existing sites at Fitzalan Square and Eyre Street.
Global professional services company Turner & Townsend has also agreed to move into Elshaw House, becoming the second major business to take up space in Sheffield’s first zero-carbon office block.
The multi-disciplinary project management and programme delivery firm has been working with Sheffield City Council and Queensberry on delivering the Heart of the City project.
Chris Sargent, Managing Director, Real Estate UK at Turner & Townsend, said: “We are thrilled to be moving to Elshaw House, a pioneering development that aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability and wellbeing.
“This move not only provides us with a larger, state-of-the-art workspace but also places us at the heart of Sheffield’s vibrant and transformed city centre. The exceptional amenities and green credentials of Elshaw House will undoubtedly enhance our team’s productivity and overall work experience.
“We are especially proud to relocate to a building that we played a significant role in delivering as Project and Cost Managers as part of the Heart of the City II development. This achievement reflects our dedication to excellence and innovation, and we look forward to continuing our growth and success in this outstanding new location.”
In addition to Turner & Townsend and HYGGE, three other companies will be moving into the area in the coming months including Barclays Bank, Two Thirds, and AllStore.
AllStore is a Sheffield-based company that will create a multi-use space including three film editing studios and a small flexible workspace for production companies and freelancers to use, with the front of the unit transformed into a café and independent retail outlet.
Two Thirds are a craft beer and German street food bar who are expanding and opening a new European inspired beer hall on the ground floor of Elshaw House to add to their Abbeydale Road bar.
Barclays Bank will be moving into a new unit on Pinstone Street, opposite the Peace Gardens and next door to the Radisson Blu Hotel.
Cllr Ben Miskell, Chair of the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “The latest round of announcements goes to prove that we’re not slowing down when it comes to offering residents and visitors to the city the best selection of retail, food and beverage and office space.
“Sheffield is changing, it’s transforming into a fantastic place for people to work, live and enjoy with our flagship project right at the heart of that. But we’re not stopping there, interest remains high in the scheme, and we will have more exciting announcements to come in the next few weeks and months.”
