Work to start on major apartment complex in Sheffield

The former Birtin Works at Henry Street, in Shalesmoor will be transformed into 62 apartments in a striking black brick design.

Sheffield firms Coda Architects and property company Crossbow Ventures are behind the scheme and it follows on from the success of the neighbouring Palatine Gardens project, Crossbow’s £10 million development of 101 studio apartments and duplex penthouse apartments on former industrial land between Henry Street and Roscoe Road.

Director David Cross said: “Birtin Works will be Crossbow’s seventh development in Sheffield and one that we are very keen to start working on.

“We are delighted that once again Sheffield Council has seen the benefit of a project that brings new life to the Shalesmoor area, so close to the city centre.

“A £6.5 million investment for the city on this scale emphasises once again just how committed we are to bringing new life to this previously neglected area of the city.

“All this has been made possible thanks to the continued support of Sheffield Council, which recognises the value of regeneration as the key to this important part of the city’s future success.

“Once again this is an outstanding example of what can happen when local companies come together to create something of lasting benefit for the city.”

Other successful projects for Crossbow and Coda in the area include Dunfields at Kelham Island and the nearby Bell’s Court.
