A key milestone has been reached in the construction of a zero carbon-ready office as part of Sheffield's Heart of the City scheme.

Elshaw House is situated between Wellington Street, Carver Street and Backfields.

The office building's industrial-styled metal frame, which has now reached its highest point, will incorporate about 70,000 sq ft of innovative, flexible and comfortable workspace over seven floors. The ground floor will house new retail and food and beverage units.

Decarbonisation of the grid is ultimately expected to make the building, which has been designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, an operationally carbon zero workspace.

The fully electrified building is designed to reduce operational energy through mixed mode ventilation, coupled with cooling embedded in the fabric of the building and heat pump technology.

The Heart of the City development programme is being led by Sheffield City Council and its strategic development partner Queensberry.

To mark the construction milestone, Sheffield City Council welcomed key representatives from Queensberry, Henry Boot Construction and Turner & Townsend for a tour of the site, along with an official topping-out ceremony. 

Kate Martin, executive director, City Futures at Sheffield City Council, said: "It's great to see the progress being made on Elshaw House. Heart of the City is committed to a green and sustainable future. This will the most sustainable office in Sheffield and will continue to grow the new business district at the heart of our city centre.

"The council's ambition is for Sheffield to become carbon neutral by 2030 and developments like this are essential to us meeting those targets."

Richard Jackson, principal engineer for Arup, added: "I am really proud of what is being achieved with Elshaw House, using cutting edge building design techniques to create a building that is highly energy efficient and future ready whilst creating spaces that are modern, flexible and controlled by the people that use them."

The office space is due to be ready for occupation in spring 2023, and is set to hit the market in the coming weeks.
