UK-based construction services provider Kier Group has completed construction and handed over the third phase of Park Hill Flats in Sheffield, UK to Alumno Group.
The third phase, which covers an area of 400 acres of land overlooking central Sheffield, is Europe’s third-largest listed building.
The Park Hill Flats initially were built between 1957 and 1961 and most of them have been abandoned by the 1990s.
Kier was appointed to deliver the third phase of Park Hill Flats that includes the transformation of the block into modern student accommodation.
It has 74 townhouse style units featuring 356 new student bedrooms. It also includes a new commercial space for the residents and the local community.
The flats have been redeveloped keeping the original design and Historic England guidelines for the Grade II-listed building in mind.
