Kelham Riverside

Unique Business Opportunites at Riverside Development

ONE of Sheffield’s most prestigious new developments is now complete and just released are the commercial units including retail and restaurant opportunities and offices from 600 sq ft to 7,000 sq ft.

Kelham Riverside is a unique mixed-use scheme and one of the few riverside locations in the city, offering an outstanding opportunity for retail and leisure businesses to operate in a picturesque setting and vibrant community.

The inclusion of retail and restaurant space has been designed to complement the surrounding areas, particularly the large number of people now living in the many neighbouring residential developments. The particular design of the scheme sits comfortably with its industrial heritage, where elements of the original fabric have been imaginatively and stylishly incorporated into the development.

A total of 3,785 sq ft (352 sq m) of retail space offers businesses a choice of units in varying sizes ideal for a wide range of retailers. A fantastic restaurant opportunity quite unique to Sheffield has also been incorporated into the development. A contemporary but sensitive architectural style incorporates a dual aspect for the restaurant, designed to attract multiple or independent restaurateurs or café operators. One aspect of this 6,099 sq ft (567 sq m) space is extensively glazed with cantilevered balcony overlooking the River Don. The southern façade, also glazed, opens into a large public piazza overlooked by studio offices, retail units and luxury apartments, of which 40% have now been sold. In addition, a selection of superb offices that open onto the public piazza have been designed as stunning individual studios with fully glazed elevations. Ideal for young enterprise and SME’s these studios provide an enviable opportunity to work in an up and coming, trendy, urban environment.

Designed by renowned architects Axis, the development pays homage to Kelham Island’s industrial heritage, featuring details such as a saw tooth roof, which reflects the original workshops in the locality. Parts of Kelham Island date back 900 years and many old features such as the goit, the water in which drove the wheel to Sheffield’s corn mill, are being restored to their former glory, giving the area lots of character. Already home to national award winning pubs, the Fat Cat and Kelham Island Tavern and award-winning restaurant, The Millstone, the individual and quirky nature of the Island is already appealing to a range of buyers who want to live in a contemporary environment.

It is the unique and interesting nature of its location, which also benefits from being close to the city centre - whilst still remaining peaceful that the developer believes will make Kelham Riverside appeal to a wide range of businesses.

Clive Wilding of The Raven Group said: “Kelham Riverside is like no other development in the city and the fantastic commercial opportunities on offer will be a sound investment for any business. Over the next few years as Kelham Island becomes a true urban village it will be a most unique place to live and work with an eclectic mix of residents and a bustling community.”

Guy Rusling, Director of Guy Rusling Commercial Surveyors added “The description ‘mixed use development’ is often misused, but not in this case. Kelham Riverside combines high quality residential accommodation with a range of commercial opportunities essential for modern life that will certainly appeal to the young couples, families, affluent professionals and students all living on Kelham Island”
