GMI appointed to deliver next phase of Park Hill regeneration in Sheffield

GMI Construction Group has been appointed to deliver the fourth phase of the regeneration of Park Hill, one of the UK’s most recognisable residential developments.

The scheme is being progressed by joint venture partners Urban Splash and Places for People, following a £6.4m funding agreement with Homes England.

125 new homes planned

The latest phase will see the delivery of 125 new apartments, with 20% allocated as affordable housing.

Works will also include:

• Public realm improvements

• EV charging infrastructure

• Car club facilities

• Secure cycle storage

The development aims to support the continued transformation of the site into a sustainable, mixed-use neighbourhood.

Regeneration of iconic Grade II* listed scheme

Park Hill, known for its “streets in the sky” design, is a Grade II* listed development and one of Sheffield’s most significant regeneration projects.

This phase will focus on the refurbishment of the Duke Street block, requiring a balance between heritage preservation and modern residential delivery.

Long-term regeneration programme continues

The appointment marks the latest stage in a long-running regeneration programme led by Urban Splash and Places for People.

To date, the partnership has delivered:

• 455 homes

• Student accommodation for over 350 residents

• More than 50,000 sq ft of commercial space

• Extensive public realm upgrades

Future phases already in pipeline

Looking ahead, a fifth phase of development has already secured planning consent and is expected to deliver a further 105 homes, alongside additional commercial space aimed at supporting independent businesses.

Industry significance

The continued redevelopment of Park Hill highlights the growing focus on urban regeneration, adaptive reuse and the delivery of mixed-tenure communities within existing city environments.
