Park Hill and Urban Splash Megathread

[Janus 28]

The block of flats said to be Europe's largest listed building has been awarded £500,000 for repair work.

 

 

The money, awarded by Historic England, will go towards the second phase of the redevelopment of Park Hill in Sheffield.

 

The funding is for structural repairs to parts of the concrete frame, some of which is crumbling, it said.

 

A further 195 homes will be created as part of phase two, developers said.

Can you provide a link to your cost model of demolition v refurb.

... including the cost/value of building council housing stock* on now prime Sheffield land. (because his or her point mentioned council housing)

 

*including extremely hilly, so difficult/costly to put thousands of council houses on

Does that mean the entire block/blocks will now be developed?

 

Also I know its only for repairs but for a massive project like that does not sound a lot of money.

Despite what they say,  there is actually plenty of land in Sheffield where previous homes have been demolished, and they could build there.

14 years on and they are still "redeveloping" it. Some of the apartments "redeveloped" will be due for a refurb by now.
