    Press release - February 2020

    Urban Splash and Places for People release prices for phase 2 homes at Park Hill

    17 February 2020

    The award winning joint venture between Urban Splash and Places for People release prices for the first homes to go on sale in Phase 2 of Park Hill. These will include; one bed from £135,000 two bed from £160,000 and three bed from £195,000. Homes will go on sale on Saturday 29 February. The first residents are expected to move in summer 2021. There will be a total of 195 homes and 20,000 sq ft of mixed-use commercial space in Phase 2.

    Guy Ackernley, on behalf of the joint venture partners, comments: “Judging from those who have registered their interest we expect a busy day on 29 February. We’ll have a revitalised Sales Office up and running by then with a new Park Hill model and VR experience. Phase 1 is fully occupied and it’s rare a home comes up for sale.

    Existing residents who rent in Phase 1 now want to now buy in Phase 2 and those who currently own in Phase 1 are looking to encourage other members of their family to buy in Phase 2, or want to trade up. The homes in Phase 1 have increased in value and now Park Hill is seen as a place that offers community, a great location and value for money for city centre living. The homes are true to the original building so as well as buying a place that reflects contemporary living and demands it is also a slice of heritage with character and history.”

    Chris Dyer, Chair of Park Hill Residents' Association comments: I returned to the UK after working in Spain and wanted to take advantage of what the city has to offer. I lived in London for 20 years and promised myself if I ever lived in a city again, I would live in the middle. A friend said look at Park Hill - they looked around a few years ago and were impressed. There's a cafe/restaurant on the ground floor that does great coffee and food. It's two minutes from the bus and train station and 10 minutes from the M1. I didn’t look at anything else, other than on-line.

    “Basically it was the difference between living somewhere with history and heritage that had been designed and envisioned as an ideal, with light and space, and a generic shoe-box behind a factory facade. The two other important criteria were loads of natural light and the view, although this is also a downside as you can find yourself staring out of the window for hours.”

    The homes have been designed by Stirling Prize winning architects Mikhail Riches and will include 1, 2 and 3 bed flats and 2 bedroom townhouses retaining the duplex and double aspect layout with balconies.

    The Sales Office in Phase 1 is being refurbished and will open late February. It will have a new Park Hill model of the whole site and plans of the accommodation available in Phase 2. The first release of homes in Phase 2 will go on sale on Saturday 29 February. Interest is expected to be high as there is a long waiting list from prospective buyers.

    The mixed-use commercial space will provide the opportunity for a variety of offices and workspaces, as well as a new café or restaurant and terrace.
