“We are excited at the prospect of bringing Miller & Carter to Sheffield city centre and will provide an update on when development work will commence as soon as our programme is confirmed.”
The handsome heritage building dates back to 1893. It has stood empty since 2017.
The company was granted planning permission in March 2020, just before lockdown.
