A new city is pending…
In a year people will be saying very different things about our city centre than what they have for 30+ years. This will be the place to be.
A great aerial of Sheffield city centre, zoom in and you can see how much development is currently being delivered. Huge site at the front is where our proposed PRS scheme will welcome residents and visitors travelling in from the north.
A new focal point in the city. In amongst the new developments taking shape, a public space to enjoy. New routes opening up, removing the linear nature of the centre we’ve all become used to. The city is changing in so many positive aspects.

So very proud to have achieved planning permission today for our proposals for the Old Town Hall, Sheffield. To have been able to be involved in the protection, regeneration and reuse of this building for future generations is nothing short of humbling.
A few hundred young school kids are just about to exit the school on the left. Are we all really happy that this is a satisfactory situation?

Very proud of our team and the work they’re doing to deliver this fantastic proposal. Sheffield’s first privately funded zero carbon office building. Absolutely essential for attracting big corporations and socially responsible occupiers to our city.

think about us again. The city centre has not been in such a positive position for decades. Change the narrative.
Lovely city centre walk to check out the progress of grey to green. How this ties Victoria Quays into the city is something quite special, giving some amazing buildings the urban context they deserve. An absolute success in place making, as Castlegate gets moving.

This aerial shows the scale of our SHU phase 1 site. On site now, this will have a huge, positive impact on our city centre, in this prominent position. We can’t wait to see it starting to rise out of the ground.
Last aerial for the week. A fantastic view of our amazing city centre and all the exciting new schemes going up. Sheffield really is a city on the move.

Another brilliant shot from drone_explorerdji on insta. Gives a good feel of the level of development going on across this part of the city centre. A city looking better by the day.
A fantastic aerial from

on instagram. Showing how phase one of the SHU proposals are shaping up. Knitting back together the urban fabric of this historic area of the city.
Great to see the work underway at SHUs former Science Park. Demolition is underway right now, and new proposals for the site are not far away. This will change the gateway to the city for the better and provide a more appropriate urban environment in this Conservation Area.
More great news today with the approval of our application on behalf of SHU for the demolition of the Science Park shown below (red brick). The exciting masterplan will now start to take shape through our next applications for the development of this key gateway site.
People see empty shops and think cities are dying. Urbanists see opportunity, because cities and the way we use them are in fact changing, as they always have. We have a chance to create something better.

Now it’s time to make Broomhill centre as beautiful as the rest of Broomhill. Some proper paving, cycle track, trees and outdoor seating. Maybe even green wall the building to the left?
After some very hard work finalising this proposal, we can confirm that our Hoyle St PRS proposal has been submitted to
@SheffCouncil
This 489 unit mixed use scheme will create a striking entrance to the city centre from the north.
The city is a construction site right now, which is the vision of a positive future. One with life, homes, independence, leisure and retail. The narrative needs to change.

NoBOdy cOmeS tO ToWn AnyMOrE. Busiest I’ve seen it in the past month than probably for the past 20 years. And that’s before the heart of the city 2 stuff really gets going.
Yet more nimby nonsense in the face of a huge amazing benefit for our city. These people are a huge reason cities and regions in this country don’t prosper and grow.
So much construction in our city centre, we’re pleased to have played our part. The future looks very positive with a huge mix of proposals coming forward, which will see the vitality of our city grow. As we leave the pandemic behind, exciting times await…
Imagine if we had a city centre arena. Would up the excitement and spill over of any event like this. The additional spend in our city would be huge. The Times view on why Sheffield should host Eurovision: Songs from the Steel City | Comment | The Times
Great view from drone__explorerdji on Instagram. Showing the new Radisson hotel and leisure developments. An absolute game changer in one of the best squares in the country.

We’ve got our hands on Sheffield's iconic Cannon Brewery💫
Sat empty since 1999, we can’t wait to inject life into the former Stones Brewery site.
We’re still working up our plans, but it’ll be a game changer for sure.

We’re very pleased to have submitted our first application for Sheffield Hallam University. The proposal for the demolition of the Science Park will begin the huge transformation at the heart of the City Campus and also the key gateway into Sheffield City Centre
We were so pleased to achieve consent for this awesome little development last year. Can’t wait for Watt Bar Sheffield to open. Some great outdoor space for safe meet ups!!
We’re very excited to have submitted our latest proposal for Fitzwilliam St. The height increase has allowed the designs to be more elegant than previous iterations and the use will now be for residential rather than student. Delivering homes in the heart of the city.

Got this shot of the new

Sheffield HQ on the way home tonight. Shows great use of material and contrast that make both old and new shine. The height difference shows the aspiration for a growing city. An example we should follow.
This piece which appears in the

programme this weekend fills me with pride. Those who know me well, know that inclusion in football is important to me. These are some of my thoughts as to why...
Nice to receive photos of the new signage in Urbana Sheffield whilst I’m in Urbana London today. Some nice finishing touches to our new HQ. (coffee table on order!)
Standing in Five Ways & moving around the new developments
@Sheff_HoC2
you can now really get a sense of how the new streets and spaces are going to feel when complete. A very exciting scheme for our city & one that will add to confident feelings we all need leaving 2020 behind
Work on the last great jewel of the Kelham crown is now well underway. More to come on this, we’re glad to be working on this amazing heritage building.
From the top of one of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks yesterday. Fantastic but tough and crazily windy day with an amazing team

@bondbryan
What a great meeting! Urbana have taken a huge step forward with some key London based investors today, looking for opportunities near you. There is huge interest in Sheffield from the capital, and this inward investment to the city is a very exciting prospect.
Urbana are very proud and excited to be match ball sponsor for today’s game at BDTBL. A lot easier filling the table than it was for the likes of Rochdale a few years ago. The journey continues...UTB

Message from my mum today “can you let me know which roads are restricted from Monday, looks difficult to get about town”
@SheffCouncil
the messaging needs to be stronger that this does not include private cars.
When you had to go to city centres for shopping/banking/bill paying- Fargate, Sheffield 1965. To bring this vibrancy back we need more city centre living, and a more cultural and leisure focused offer, alongside retail that offers the joys and experiences you can’t get online.

‘42 under 42’ This is recognition for the whole team here at Urbana, where passion for the built environment shines through in everything we do.
A lot of people don’t realise what a beautiful city Sheffield is, until they visit. Whilst we have our regen challenges, our canvas is an absolute beaut.
🎙️ Ahmedhodžić on Sheffield
"I didn't think Sheffield was that beautiful! I always heard it was like industrial steel city and you don't see much, but I really liked it. Jack told me about it and I didn't believe him until I went there. It's beautiful."

and this is why. To be recognised for this amongst 100s of amazing companies is fantastic. The values and culture we live by in our work and our relationships is what makes us who we are.
Fantastic and efficient service at

today for a blood test for Alex - not COVID. What a strange world we’re currently living in, arm out of the window for a minute and then on our way again.
This is the biggest news inclusion in football has seen for decades. A new role model to show that you’re not going to be held back by the way you’re born. Let’s hope this is the start of people being able to be themselves in our sport and a message to young people of acceptance
Anel should be stripped of the captaincy. Should have been when he refused to wear the rainbow armband, because we either believe everyone is equal or we don’t. But now, his football is as bad as his judgment
