Description

Weston Tower comprises a substantial office building that has been vacant for a number of years. Further information for the site can be accessed within a data room.

In terms of wider context, Heart of the City and West Bar are leading the way in terms of delivering a new product and changing the skyline of Sheffield. Heart of City is a £490m regeneration scheme delivering a truly mixed use heart to Sheffield City Centre including prime grade A office space, high quality apartments for sale, and Kangaroo Works a prime BTR scheme. At West Bar, phase 1 of the development is underway which includes a 100,000 sq ft office building and 368 BTR apartments and a multi storey car park, with supporting retail and leisure space on the ground floor.

We therefore believe that Weston Tower presents an opportunity for either conversion of the existing building or a wholesale demolition and redevelopment.
