Development management experience / Sheffield
New build and conversion, brought together as a 324-bedroom student community.
Steel City combines seven new blocks, ranging from three to seven storeys, with the conversion of two existing buildings to provide 324 student bedrooms in Sheffield. The £45m scheme opened in September 2019.
Josh McGuinness was responsible for delivery in his role as Associate Director at Future Generation, on behalf of Southern Grove / Future Generation. Clegg Construction was the main contractor, with a 76-week construction programme recorded in his project experience.
The red-line-to-red-line site demanded careful coordination of archaeological investigations, negotiations with sitting tenants, changes in ground level and party wall awards. The completed accommodation brings together private living space, communal areas and landscaped courtyards.
