Social-impact developer Capital&Centric has lodged plans for a £60m neighbourhood on scrubland just outside Sheffield city centre.
The Manchester-based firm wants to build 192 rental homes in a cluster of new buildings packed with shared spaces – including lounges, a leafy courtyard and a rooftop terrace with city views.
The Fitzwilliam scheme sits next to Capital&Centric’s Eyewitness Works project, where the developer has already transformed two Grade II-listed buildings and delivered the Brunswick new build.
Joint managing director Tom Wilmot said: “Fitzwilliam isn’t another bland block of apartments. What we’re creating here is a community where people actually want to spend time; that means homes that feel like home, shared spaces to make new friends, and proper greenery to unwind in.”
Plans also include opening up surrounding streets with new trees, lighting, benches and public art celebrating Sheffield’s industrial past.
All homes will come fully furnished with Scandi-style HAY interiors and be managed by Ollo – Capital&Centric’s in-house rental arm, which looks after maintenance and community events across its sites.
