Work commences on £4.5m Sheffield apartments scheme

Knight Knox, the property investment consultancy, has launched the second phase of its £4.5m Palatine Gardens development in Sheffield.

The new-build scheme, which comprises 46 one-bedroom apartments – 10 of which are luxury duplex penthouses – is located adjacent to the Palatine Gardens Phase 1 on Roscoe Road in Shalesmoor.

Construction work of the new apartments, which will be spread over two wings and enclose a communal landscaped garden, has now commenced. The development is expected to be completed in Q3 2018.

The development, which is Knight Knox’s 79th project, is also only a short distance from Kelham Island, one of Sheffield’s newest urban villages, offering a range of restaurants and bars.

Andy Phillips, commercial director at Knight Knox, said: “We’re thrilled to be expanding our Yorkshire portfolio with the launch of Palatine Gardens Phase 2, whilst also contributing to Sheffield’s impressive regeneration.

“With employment opportunities rising and the city’s population predicted to boom over the coming years, there is a huge demand for high-end apartments so close to the city centre and we can’t wait to see the response. With the success of Phase 1 in mind, they’re sure to be a hit with the people of Sheffield.”

Crossbow Construction Management will act as the contractor for the scheme, which has been designed by architects Coda Studios and, once complete, will be let and block managed by Intus Lettings.

David Cross, director at Coda Studios, added: “Sheffield is becoming an ever-more desirable place to live and work, leaving prospective residents searching for suitable homes.

“With Palatine Gardens, we are providing a boutique living solution with a minimalistic and tranquil design which is sure to suit the needs of people flocking to the area.”
