Sheffield, England’s fourth-largest city, is a thriving commercial centre that provides a vibrant lifestyle for those living and studying there, with theatres, a varied arts scene and the beautiful Peak District on its doorstep.

Internationally recognised for its design, manufacturing and engineering, the city is home to a number of multi-national businesses. And the presence of two high-ranking universities and one of the largest further education colleges in the UK means Sheffield has a distinctly young, professional population and, therefore, considerable rental demand.

Sheffield has seen significant development activity in the last decade with many investors demonstrating confidence in the city, with over £1billion of major schemes currently underway.

These include New Era Square, the city’s pioneering, £65million, 21st century ‘Chinese Quarter’ (due for completion in 2018 and just 300m from Lightbox), St Paul’s Place, a new city centre Business Quarter for Sheffield, and the newly proposed Sheffield Retail Quarter an innovative £480million project merging the city’s award-winning public realm, cultural assets and key retail areas.

Sheffield also boasts excellent road and rail connections to other parts of the country and a choice of easily accessible international airports.

Sheffield is a city of makers and doers that boasts one of the largest creative communities in the country.

Much of this community is concentrated in the city’s Cultural Industries Quarter, an area that once hummed and clanked with cutlery works and toolmakers, it now sings with all manner of creative endeavour. Often cited as Sheffield’s equivalent to Manchester’s Northern Quarter, Sheffield’s Cultural Industries Quarter refers to the zone between St Mary’s Road, Arundel Gate and Howard Street.

A number of listed buildings sit within its triangle and historic industrial reminders are everywhere, blended with the modern. Independent galleries nest between chimneys and courtyards, and cafés spring up on cobbled side streets.

The area hosts street food markets, pop-up shops and art-house cinemas as well as the city’s very own tech-hub.

Down even the quietest streets there is plenty happening behind closed doors, with recording studios, a media lab and BBC Radio Sheffield making their homes there.

Unsurprisingly, the area is increasingly becoming one of the city’s most desirable locations to live for Sheffield’s young urbanites, as old workshops are reinvented as quirky design studios or coffee shops, and crumbling warehouses make way for contemporary residential accommodation.

With rental demand in Sheffield increasingly outstripping supply, and as the city is poised to enter its most significant period of inward investment in recent history, Lightbox represents a unique opportunity to capitalise on excellent yields in a prime development hotspot.

Lightbox is the latest state-of-the-art addition to Sheffield’s ever-expanding skyline from renowned developers Noble Design Build. Construction is due to commence mid-2016 and is estimated to complete September 2017.

Off-plan investment packages and early-bird discounts are now being made available.
