New flats, offices and shops in area facelift

Properties on Lambert Street, Furnace Hill and West Bar in the St Vincent's quarter of the city are being redeveloped by Brantingham Property Services to create 200 studio and one-bedroom apartments, 10,000 sq ft of office space and 5,000 sq ft of retail property, all of which have been sold prior to completion.

The 5 million redevelopment of the first of the three properties, a Grade 2 listed former cutlery factory on Lambert Street, has now been completed.

Brantingham Property Services consultant Rufus Salter said: "Due to the historical significance of the cutlery factory we have kept the Lambert Street development's original facade and also retained many of the building's original features.

"It is a fantastic building and part of the city's heritage and we have worked hard to redevelop it to a high standard.

"The three developments are proving to be the catalyst for creating the city's latest residential and commercial hot spot, The Cutlery Quarter, and epitomise the overall renaissance that the area is starting to enjoy."

Peter Lee, associate partner at Sheffield estate agent Blundells, which has been working with Brantingham as part of the development team, said: "The location and character of the Lambert Street building has created a very desirable development.

"All three redevelopments signify a new dimension in the regeneration of the Cutlery Quarter and paves the way for more substantial regeneration for the area which has always offered prime location potential."
