CTP TAKES TOP HONOUR IN YORKSHIRE PROPERTY AWARDS M
anchester-based property developers CTP have won a major honour for
their “transformational” Heart of the City development in Sheffield. CTP, working in conjunction with
Sheffield City Council and the U+I Group, triumphed in the Development of the Decade category at Yorkshire Business Insider’s South Yorkshire Property Awards. The judges said: “The Heart of the City
development has been transformational in setting a benchmark for the regeneration of Sheffield as a modern commercial city centre. “The old 'egg box' Town Hall building is
now long gone and has been replaced by attractive public spaces and much-needed prime office space, which has contributed to the region's economy by attracting businesses such as Arup, DLA Piper, PwC and Royal Bank of Scotland. “The development has also set the tone
and laid the foundation for future developments such as Sheffield Retail Quarter,” the judges added. David Topham, managing director of
CTP, commented: “It is clearly a very gratifying experience to be the recipient of

appointed the civils team at Britcon to widen access on Barnsley Road from two to three lanes and at the same time improve pedestrian facilities including lighting and bus stops. The contract with the Trust is the
second for Britcon after it secured a place on the Contractors’ Framework last year. Britcon has recently completed a £700,000 contract with the Trust to expand car parking provisions at the Northern General and The Jessop Wing. Britcon, which has extensive expertise
in civil engineering across many types of public infrastructure projects, is working to accommodate the live environment to complete the project in just 18 weeks. Ian Chapman of the Yorkshire office of
Britcon, said, “We are pleased to secure our second contract on the Framework for Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Due to the nature of the 24-hour operation at the hospitals we are working at best efficiency to accommodate continued access to the public and critical ambulance routes.”

an award that has been judged to have made such a contribution to not only the City of Sheffield, but also seen as significant and important in a regional context. “Our plan was always
to deliver an exceptional scheme for this important site, recognising that one is not often given the responsibility to regenerate a key part of a City Centre of such prominence and a scheme of such commercial importance to Sheffield, with the re-establishing of a Central Business District for the City one of its core aims in the brief laid down by the City Council. “This award is the recognition of the
part our team has played is helping us to deliver St Paul's Place in the Heart of the City, and especially of the key part our partners at the City Council have played in selecting us in the first place and helping us
to steer the project through multiple phases over a period of the last 12 years,” he added. Meanwhile, underling the company’s
commitment to Yorkshire, CTP, in conjunction with developers U+I, recently secured a sale of the Granary Wharf site in Leeds to L&G for a new 250 apartments.
DESIGNED IN SHEFFIELD
he University of Sheffield’s plans for a new, world-class Social Sciences
facility have been approved by Sheffield City Council. Councillors were unanimous in voting to approve the application and were exceptionally positive in praising the world-class design. Designed by award-winning Sheffield
based architects HLM, the proposed state-of-the-art home for the University’s Faculty of Social Sciences will improve learning for students through its new collaborative teaching and social spaces and offer a wide range of disciplines under the same roof for the first time. It will also include a research hub,
bringing together cross-cutting research centres in an innovative working environment to encourage truly interdisciplinary research that will lead the way in addressing key societal and global challenges. The building has been designed with
sustainability at its core and it is expected that it will be the University’s first building to achieve a BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) ’Outstanding’ rating. Ground source heat pumps will be installed to maximise the opportunity created by thermal warmth,
and provide cooling in the summer. Director of HLM Nick Beecroft said: “The realisation of these designs will
be a tremendous step forward for the University and the City. This is our home city, and we, HLM, are proud to be working with the University of Sheffield. We are delighted to see this important step forward for their estate, their students and the city more widely. This is an exciting project to be part of.” The Faculty of Social Sciences is the
University’s largest faculty, with more than 9,000 students - making up 34 percent of the University’s total student population. The Faculty comprises 13 departments, several cross-cutting research institutes, and the White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership. The Faculty is unique among its peers in the Russell Group in having both classical social sciences disciplines such as Politics and Economics, but also practitioner- based disciplines such as Architecture and the Information School. The adjacent Elmfield Building, which
currently houses the Department of Politics, will provide the departmental homes for the Information School, Journalism Studies and the School of Education.
