Five new businesses move into Heart of the City

Sheffield’s city centre regeneration project has recently attracted Turner & Townsend, Barclays Bank, independent café Hygge, media company AllStore, and craft beer and German street food bar Two Thirds.

Turner & Townsend will move into Elshaw House, becoming the second major business to take up space in Sheffield’s first zero-carbon office block.

The multi-disciplinary project management and programme delivery firm has been working with Sheffield City Council and Queensberry on delivering the Heart of the City project.

Danish inspired HYGGE café will also locate to Elshaw House whilst also keeping their existing space at Fitzalan Square and Eyre Street.

Barclays Bank will be moving into a new unit on Pinstone Street, opposite the Peace Gardens and next door to the Radisson Blu Hotel.

AllStore is a Sheffield-based company that will transform the unit   into a multi-use space including three film editing studios, a small flexible workspace used for production companies and freelancers to use, with the front of the unit transformed into a café and independent retail outlet.

Two Thirds is a craft beer and German street food bar, which is opening a European inspired beer hall on the ground floor of Elshaw House to add to their successful Abbeydale Road bar.

Chris Sargent, managing director, real estate UK at Turner & Townsend said: “We are thrilled to be moving to Elshaw House, a pioneering development that aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability and wellbeing.

“This move not only provides us with a larger, state-of-the-art workspace but also places us at the heart of Sheffield’s vibrant and transformed city centre.

“The exceptional amenities and green credentials of Elshaw House will undoubtedly enhance our team’s productivity and overall work experience.

“We are especially proud to relocate to a building that we played a significant role in delivering as project and cost managers as part of the Heart of the City development.”

Cllr Ben Miskell, chair of the transport, regeneration and climate policy committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “Sheffield is changing, it’s transforming into a fantastic place for people to work, live and enjoy with our flagship project right at the heart of that.

“But we’re not stopping there, interest remains high in the scheme, and we will have more exciting announcements to come in the next few weeks and months.”
