Sheffield homes: Construction of £24m flats without parking starts in trendy Kelham Island

Hive will have 100 studios - one and two bedroomed - to rent in Kelham Island.

Developer Grantside bought Aircraft and Commercial Tools Ltd, on Bowling Green Street, in 2021 and demolished the building.

Boss Steve Davis says construction has started on the brownfield site and should be complete in spring 2027.

Studios will be aimed at workers and those ‘looking to downsize without moving away from the buzz of the city’.

The development will have a rooftop garden, allotment, cafe, gym, wellness studio, games and media room, cinema, library and quiet spaces and meeting room.

But it will not have any parking.

The company says: “Hive is a lean-clean-green organisation and we take environmental issues, and your health and wellbeing, very seriously.

“So, rather than car parking, we provide secure bike storage instead. Hive is well located for public transport too.”

Millions have been spent converting former factories and building flats in Kelham Island in recent years.

In 2022, Time Out last declared it the 35th ‘Coolest Neighbourhood in the World’.
