St Vincent’s Quarter regeneration project involves redevelopment of a site on Scotland Street into a 437-bed, new-build, premium student accommodation property.
The site sits opposite the new engineering department of the University of Sheffield, which is expected to attract new students to the locality.
Planning for the regeneration includes student accommodation development with three new residential blocks of six, seven and eight storeys, with each featuring a green ‘living’ roof.

Knight Frank Planning in Sheffield was the advisor for the developer and acted on its behalf during the planning process. Manchester’s DAY Architectural had co-ordinated with Knight Frank for the planning.
Knight Frank Planning team in Sheffield member Sophie Taylor said: "This development will contribute to the creation of a sustainable local community, securing a long-term, viable use for the site.
"The increase in student population will benefit local businesses and contribute to regeneration of the St Vincent’s Quarter. Residential developments like this are the cornerstones to regeneration and will in turn attract other retail and leisure uses."
