Hammerson Wins Sheffield Mall Competition

SHEFFIELD-Hammerson has won the competition to develop Sheffield's new retail quarter, beating

By Graham Parker | Updated on September 12, 2001

SHEFFIELD-Hammerson has fought off tough competition from British Land and Multi Development Corporation to win the right to develop a new shopping centre in the heart of Sheffield city centre. Hammerson was the unanimous choice of the jury, made up of members of Sheffield One – Sheffield’s regeneration agency – the city council, English Partnerships, Yorkshire Forward and independent experts.

Hammerson’s concepts -which include a covered Galleria, a new crescent and a landmark building designed by Building Design partnership – won public endorsement at an exhibition of all three schemes last month. The proposed new quarter will cover the area from Barkers Pool to Pinstone Street and the top of the Moor, centered around a refurbished and extended Cole Brothers department store. The scheme is seen as one of the biggest retail development opportunities of the decade.

Sheffield One said Hammerson had been chosen because of its track record, creativity, innovation and design excellence, and ability to attract big new retail names to the city centre. Hammerson has completed two large city centre schemes – the Oracle in Reading and West Quay in Southampton – over the past two years, and it is currently involved in major malls in Birmingham and Bristol.
