Work starts on duo of Sheffield sites

Work has started on a duo of developments in the city, which will create over 300 new homes.

Eclipse Phase 2, on Harborough Avenue and Pennine Village off Manor Lane, are the latest developments we're delivering.

Funding of £3.2m from the government's housing accelerator Homes England, will ensure that the properties built at both sites, will address local housing need.

Steve Birch, Project Director with SHC said: “It is testament to the hard work, commitment and drive of our partners and Homes England support, that we are able to start work on these two sites.

“Despite the pandemic and devastating impact, it has had for many, both personally and professionally, there is significant investment in and around the city. As a regeneration partnership it is our responsibility to ensure that we are providing access to quality, affordable homes that are enabling local people to achieve home ownership and attracting others to consider moving to the area.”

210 distinctive new homes will be built at Eclipse Phase 2, and 101 at Pennine Village.

This year, we expects to increase our portfolio to seven developments across the city, which combined, will deliver over 600 homes to three neighbourhoods in Sheffield – Manor, Norfolk Park and Parson Cross.

Looking ahead, SHC aims to complete up to 2,300 properties on 23 sites by the end of 2027 – delivering further economic stimulation, job creation and community investment for Sheffield. 

Our entire development programme is currently benefitting from over £3m in funding from Homes England and £1.5m from Sheffield City Region.
