UK: Henry Boot Construction has officially completed work on Kangaroo Works, a 14-storey BTR tower in Sheffield city centre.
The development on Rockingham Street features 365 units and forms part of Sheffield City Council’s Heart of the City masterplan.
Delivered for BTR developer Ridgeback Group and designed by Whittam Cox Architects, the block includes a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with five commercial units incorporated into the ground floor.
The development connects to Pound’s Park – a new outdoor public park in the city centre, which was also delivered by Henry Boot Construction.
Henery Boot managing director Tony Shaw said: “We’re thrilled to see Kangaroo Works reach completion. It’s very rewarding to see people moving in and calling the development home. We really understand the changing trends of our urban centres and the important role of new homes in creating vibrant and active cities. Kangaroo Works is another important piece of the jigsaw and will provide a permanent community to support and complement our other projects in the Heart of the City masterplan, including Pound’s Park, the Cambridge Street Collection food hall and net-zero carbon office Elshaw House. We are proud to be helping private and public developers, like Ridgeback Group and Sheffield City Council, transform our hometown and provide a sustainable and well-balanced city centre.”
Christopher Allen, development director at Ridgeback Group, said: “It has been a pleasure to work with the Henry Boot team over the past four years to deliver Kangaroo Works. This scheme was Ridgeback’s first acquisition and established the high standard for our growing portfolio. The quality of the workmanship has been impressive, and we are grateful to receive such a fantastic looking building.”
