Sheffield City Council has released the shortlist of developers under consideration for the redevelopment of Sheffield Retail Quarter project.

aspireDM is now in a group of five companies shortlisted following an official tender process and submission of a detailed proposal which focused on the regeneration and redevelopment of the city’s retail heart.

The proposed £480 million scheme, designed by Leonard Design Architects, who have advised on some of Europe’s most successful retail developments, comprises approximately 900,000 square feet of mixed use accommodation. The proposed new scheme is predominantly retail and leisure led, but also includes over 200,000 square feet of residential and office space. Sheffield Retail Quarter is expected to create around 2500 construction jobs and new additional permanent jobs in the city centre.
