“The development has done well in creating public space to complement the Millenn-ium Square, re-using the foundations of former council offices.

“The offices set new quality standards for Sheffield, mak-ing maximum use of location and surrounding views of the new town square and beyond the city.”

David Topham of CTP St James said: “St. Paul’s Place is the start of a new commercial central business district for Sheffield city centre.”

Andy Topley, director of regeneration at city development company Creative Sheffield, said: “This is an excellent development. The quality of the offer provided by St. Paul's Place is a signal the city economy is changing and Sheffield City Centre is fast developing as a high quality business location.”
