That's a shame. I really like the existing fire station building. It's a really interesting shape.

Hmm, I can think of a few missing ones that are under wraps at the moment.

Hey sony...whats this with the Crucible redevelopment..what does this intail?

lol, i see that website i posted in the leopold square thread came up trumps.

is this whats meant when we are told we`re a city on th up ?:confused:

That's quite the list of buildings! If they all went up in the next few years Sheffield would be looking like a different city :)

whens that st marys gate one supposed to get started??

New B&Q Warehouse at Darnall.

Saw it as we drove past there yesterday.

First 2 weeks of next month or so i've heard.

Sheffield University Learning Resources Centre - £16m, Upper Hanover Street

Demolishing what seems to be a perfectly good (and very interesting) fire brigade HQ, just to rebuild it somewhere else?.

Now thats the kind of pathetic waste of money I've come to expect from the succesive idiots in the council !!. Hope the firemen have got somthing to say about it, that's their pay rise right there!!

The Fire Station leaks like a sieve and doesn't meet modern operational requirements.

There is no need to have garages, repair shops, offices, control room, on the same valuable city centre site. The new fire station (only) will be going on the car park on Eyre St next to Decathlon.

Also, its not the Councils Fire Station, it belongs to the South Yorkshire Joint Authority which funds the Fire Brigade. SCC are a member of SYJA of course.

Any more info on the Roxy disco site?

It is an expensive way to find out where not to build a fire station... I'm too young to know whether building it there seemed like a good idea at the time (I guess it will have seemed like an improvement on the old one down the road), but its unusual looks are its only redeeming feature. Sadly, as Tony mentioned, it's outmoded and in the way - just the wrong building for the site. At least it is the fire station. Other badly sited buildings (built and being built) are going to be far harder to remove than this, the NUC building and the town hall extension.

Does anyone have anymore info/links on the Hanover House and V One development?

I agree with genesiscouch that if all these new buildings appear over the next couple of years, Sheffield will look and maybe start to feel like England's 4th largest city rather than just a large town.

But still when you look at the scale of current developments proposed and approved for England's next biggest city Leeds, our list doesn't look very impressive at all: http://www.leeds-cityscape.co.uk/

The top two floors are done I think, this is the latest pic i've got, but its from the 7th August...

Your joking?

What has changed? I cant see any noticable differences!!!

I think the third floor down is now done (on the photographed side at least), just yet to be unveiled. The cladding on the silver square bit has been partly removed to allow construction of a roof for the new retail unit.

I'm more interested in this building... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v174/dinp83/DSCF0392.jpg
Its taking ages to reclad it!

Me neither! lol!

Without turning this into a Leeds thread....Criterion Place (http://www.leeds-cityscape.co.uk/Criterion_Place_approved.htm) . Wow...47 stories. That's taller than any building in the City.

Well it's good to compare and contrast other cities.

I had a tour around Leftbank Manchester (http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=70266) last week and it's a good example of large powerful achitecture that shows that good values can be achieved for a good quality scheme. The net/gross is very generous (no idea what the service charges will be) and once you're on the top floor the views across town are stunning.

This IS the way that many, many people will prefer to live in the future.

The Hallam building was never meant to turn out like Redvers is beginning to, its just being fitted with double glazing and being repainted and although it doesnt look much different, it looks a lot cleaner. The new entrance to the Owen building is where the real change will be seen.

Have you got a picture of the new entrance?

Are there any plans to reclad the University of Sheffields Arts Tower? (http://www.emporis.com/en/il/im/?id=150986)

It's in a much worse state than the Hallam university building.

Criterion Place has now been approved and will be a huge boost for Leeds already booming economy, hopefully if it is successful it maybe decided a development on this scale would be of benefit to Sheffield. We can only dream!

But at least with two new developments approved for Sheffield, which are both taller than any buildings ever built in Sheffield before due to be constructed shortly, at least we seem to be making a start.

Hate to ramble on about Leeds again but another impressive development they currently have under construction is Clarence Dock (http://www.clarencedock.com) destined to become a self-supporting community on a scale not yet seen outside London.

If only some of the focus of Leeds City Council would rub off on our council. Sadly though for now I think the days when Sheffield could compete with Leeds are sadly long gone.

Interesting article here for those interested in education and urbanism...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1299319,00.html

...Sheffield gets a brief mention.

Perhaps what we need is a few good schools in or near the centre.

Then I will move in....

The new scheme in the St Georges district called Impact (www.impactsheffield.co.uk) looks like it will be a major catalyst for the regeneration of that area - a stones throw from the University. Is anyone aware of any other schemes in that area? It certainly looks like a good place to buy if you are looking for future capital growth.

There's also a new 14 storey apartment block planned called 'V One' (http://212.50.188.108/cgi-win/vebra.cgi?details1?src=vebra&PropertyCode=1104001/VONET/20586/1). It is going to be built on the corner of solly and tenter street. It's already been mentioned but i thought i would post a photo.

Does anyone know what the timeline is on this? The lofts sound nice and the glass-covered street would be fantastic if it goes through.

Its up for planning consent in the next month or so and starting on site in the new year.

The Impact Sheffield scheme is one ugly looking complex.

I really hope these arent the final designs and if it is, please not in those awful colours!

The V One apartments look really cutting edge architecture, Sheffield needs more of these's rather than your dull blocks of apartments like West One and the proposed Impact ones which in 10 years are gonna look so dated and we will have another Park Hill on our hands.

I'm aware of the Impact scheme and I know that the sketches are early ones and don't begin to show the scheme properly. Like the Cala one I would wait and see a while.

I'll be honest, the design isn't too inspiring and the use of 'Major Impact' and 'Original Impact' as names for parts of the development are a bit pretentious. But who am I to pass judgement, i'm only a lowly town planner (read: frustrated urban designer). On the plus side, its in a part of the town that could do with a few spondulicks spent on it, and if this scheme can encourage that then credit to all those involved.

what are they building behind station?

But it looks horrible, do we just want more tower blocks in Sheffield that we will be ashamed of in 10 years, or do we want well designed, tastefull building that add to the city without casting a huge shadow over it ?

Leeds wants to be London, it never will be of course, but in the process they will turn their city centre into a dark, unwelcoming place, like the square mile in London.

I totally disagree with this comment, the Criterion Place project looks stunning, the towers look really elegant and surreal, I think the tower will make Leeds a brighter place not a darker one.

This artistic impression of Criterion Place by night (http://www.skyscrapernews.com/news.htm) shows how beautiful it will look behind the train station.

When visitors arrive in Leeds, Criterion Place will be the first impression of Leeds when they arrive at the station, what an entrance that will make!

This is exactly what Sheffield needs, the first thing you notice when you arrive in Sheffield is the Park Hill flats, say no more!

Your entitled to your opinion, and I agree about the first impressions of Sheffield from the train station.

I'm just not a fan of huge tower blocks and skyscrapers, I prefer building to be on a more human scale.

Having visited New York (and several other cities in the US) I think the places I liked most were the ones with the least tall buildings.

You must walk backwards with your head tilted heavily upwards then! You only notice Park Hill flats if you look back towards the station when leaving it. The first thing you see is roadwords and the crummy NMB, which is thankfully being demolished eventually!

These are exciting times all right. It must have felt a bit like this in the '60s.

has anyone got an upto date photo of the hallam building (owen building) - cheers guys

Whats the latest news on developments??

Well Sony

I'm looking at porching off the overhang on my house.

how's that?

lol, well thats great, very interesting.. Another crane goes up in shirecliffe..
