II.1.4) Short description

Homes England is seeking Development Partners with the requisite skills, expertise, resource and creativity to deliver the comprehensive development of two significantly important and ambitious residential-led mixed use development opportunities in Sheffield City Centre. The development opportunities comprise two separate Lots. Following the initial selection stage, Homes England will shortlist three bidders for each of the following Lots:

• Lot 1 Furnace Hill; and

• Lot 2 Neepsend.

Homes England has jointly prepared a Development Framework with Sheffield City Council to guide the delivery of each site and established the following Vision:

“To transform Furnace Hill & Neepsend into two distinct and vibrant, urban neighbourhoods, capitalising upon their historic and natural assets to create a varied townscape, with a network of new public spaces and streets to improve legibility and connections between the City Centre and Kelham Island”

Homes England is committed to developing a long-term relationship with Development Partners who have a proven track record in successfully delivering sustainable and high quality residential-led regeneration, matching the scale of Homes England’s ambition for these two sites and Sheffield’s huge potential.

Furnace Hill and Neepsend each have an industrial heritage but inherently different characteristics with the potential for each neighbourhood to provide a distinct and varied residential offer that will play a pivotal role in meeting Sheffield’s housing needs. Homes England is therefore presenting this opportunity for the appointment of a Development Partner for each site which can be delivered independently of each other.
