ISG Totty has secured its
second phase of work under the 'Rotherham
Renaissance' redevelopment of the south-Yorkshire
town, with a negotiated £7.6 million mixed-use
design & build scheme for Liverpool-based developer
Iliad. The 25-year Renaissance plan, forecast to
attract around £2 billion worth of investment into
Rotherham, is already achieving great success, with
the first phase, ISG Totty’s £6.3 million Westgate
mixed-use development, recently securing a coveted
Housing Design Award.
Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council has appointed
Iliad to oversee the first major stage of the
regeneration of the historic town centre. The
developer's five sites will be collectively known as
All Saints’ Quarter, and this latest phase involves
ISG Totty constructing a five-storey concrete frame
building, designed by architects Glenn Howells, next
to the River Don.
The ground floor of the structure will be let as
commercial/leisure space, which will include a large
open terrace area overlooking the river. The
remaining four floors will provide accommodation for
53 high-specification one- and two-bedroom
apartments with balconies and underground car
parking. Externally, the building features anodised
rain screen cladding to its façade and a standing
seam metal roof. The project is due to commence
mid-September and is scheduled for completion by May
2009.
John Gittins, regional managing director of ISG
Totty, commented: "The Rotherham Renaissance vision
is already making a dramatic impact on the town
centre skyline as our first scheme emerges from
behind the site hoardings. There is tremendous
ambition within Rotherham to drive the redevelopment
of the town centre forward and we are delighted to
have secured this latest phase of work, enabling ISG
Totty to continue to play an integral role in this
important regional project.”
Rotherham Renaissance is part of regional
development agency Yorkshire Forward’s Renaissance
Towns programme across Yorkshire and Humber.
