Hampsey Secure Well Meadow, Sheffield
Hampsey is happy to announce that is has secured a Notice to Commence from Main Contractor Graham Construction for a new apartment block that will provide 284 luxury flats on Well Meadow Drive, just off Netherthorpe Road.
The £42m project has been commissioned by Newcastle-based Grainger and represents their second development in Sheffield. The scheme is for the upmarket build-to-rent market and hopes to boost Sheffield’s student retention rate — in keeping with the wider Well Meadow regeneration (Phase I of which now provides over 300 fully occupied student accommodation units). Until now students have little choice in terms of high quality accommodation to move into after their studies end and Grainger hopes to address this with their developments.
The block will include a host of resident’s-only amenities such as round-the-clock hotel-style concierge, a gym, a resident’s lounge and regular free events.
Hampsey has been hired by Main Contractor Graham to build the concrete frame, carry-out groundworks and install the drainage, following on from our excellent work on similar packages in Manchester and Liverpool. The Well Meadow project will also be one of the first projects that Hampsey makes use of innovative ‘twin wall’ pre-cast construction method. This off-site manufacturing method can help to deliver significant time savings on the construction programme compared to conventional in-situ construction methods.
