Landlord Voice Magazine September 2015 - Sheffield | Page 6

S

heffield has seen its
fair share of hard times
following the collapse of the
steel industry and the last
recession but the city has seen
a lot of development during the
last five years.
And now it is fast becoming
a UK hub for advanced
manufacturing thanks to its
industrial heritage and close
links with the University of
Sheffield.

The city is seeing increasing
demand for office and student
accommodation which
is sparking new building
developments and a new digital
creative industry is gathering
momentum.
And with a growing
economy comes increased
demand for accommodation,
so Landlord Voice takes a tour
of the city’s residential areas
with Sheffield lettings agent
Shefflets.

Kelham Island
Just five-ten minutes’ walk
from the city centre and
once home to a collection of
industrial workshops, this
area, which sits just off the ring
road, has become a pivotal one
for young professionals and
has seen a flurry of apartment
development in recent times
– from converted industrial
buildings to new-builds.
