Climate Minister Katie White visits Sky-House Co at Waverley
Climate Minister KatIe White was given an insight into the eco-friendly vision of Sheffield’s Sky-House Co when she made an official visit to the Waverley housing development.
Sky-House Co is one of the key developers of the Waverley site between Sheffield and Rotherham, bringing new life to the former Orgreave Colliery and Coking Plant, creating the largest brownfield mixed-use development in Yorkshire - and one of the largest in the country.
The Sky-House Co concept is inspired by the revival of Victorian and Georgian urban design principles, offering flexible living space and eco-friendly features, focusing on being carbon neutral in construction and energy efficient on completion.
It is now firmly established at Sheffield’s Waverley development, where the first phase of its latest project - Waverley Central - is now almost sold out, with just two properties remaining, while Phase Two has been released with six early reservations.
“We were delighted to welcome Climate Minister Katie White to Sky-House Co at Waverley,” said company founder and director David Cross.
“It was a great opportunity to share our mission to deliver genuinely sustainable homes at scale, our long-term vision for low-carbon living and the values that guide everything we do as a business - innovation, responsibility and impact.
“Constructive conversations like this matter and real progress on climate change only happens when industry and government work together with purpose and pace.
“We were delighted that the Minister took time to visit and engage so positively with out team and it was a very encouraging day for everybody involved.”
The Sky-House Team has grown from two to over 30 in the past four years as it delivers some of the region’s most eagerly anticipated and exciting developments.
As well as its place at the heart of Waverley, the company also has a successful development at Oughtibridge Mill and the Rother Valley development at Killamarsh, created for both downsizers and families, proving equally successful.
Two new city centre sites - at Copper Street and in the Devonshire Quarter - are also now well under way.
“Our naturally sustainable homes blend modern design with durability, creating vibrant neighborhoods where people can thrive,” David explained.
“Each property is crafted with care, prioritising sustainable materials and innovative, eco-friendly technology.
“We believe we’re not just building homes - we’re shaping spaces where community, nature and architecture come together beautifully.
“It’s eco-friendly and design rich housing at affordable prices, making the perfect choice for today’s home buyers and investors.”
