The latest to catch the attention is the £50m Laurel Works, where a concrete core is rising on the site of the former Sheffield Testing Laboratories on Nursery Street.
Builders are also busy in Kelham Island, Neepsend and Tenter Street, Wellington Street, Egerton Street and Flat Street in the city centre, among others.
Further afield, homes are under construction on housing plots at Waverley and Oughtibridge.
Waiting in wings are hundreds of homes listed in our gallery of photos - adding up to hundreds of millions of pounds of investment in the city.
