Urban Splash, renowned for its long-term investment in transforming Park Hill in the city, is working on proposals to turn the former department store into a vibrant mixed-use space which will include leisure, retail and workspaces. The proposals envision the building as an exciting mixed-use scheme featuring flexible workspace, cafes, retail, leisure, cultural uses, and event space – all designed to complement the rest of the Heart of the City project.

To bring this vision to life, Urban Splash has appointed three specialist agents to help attract occupiers who can become part of the rejuvenated community. National agent Smith Young will handle the retail brief, alongside leisure specialist Starka; they will both work with Sheffield-based commercial advisor colloco.

Speaking of the news, Nathan Cornish at Urban Splash said: “We are honoured to be tasked with the redevelopment of another famous Sheffield building.

“As we work through our early design plans, we’re keen to find occupiers who share our values and vision for the building. With these carefully selected agents, we hope to curate a vibrant mix of occupiers who will breathe new life into the building. We are seeking out great brands, independents, and businesses committed to the city, so that together we can create something truly special and unique to Sheffield.
