Upping the style stakes in Sheffield

Until recently the Sheffield new homes market has been dominated by developments offering few distinguishing features. This has now changed with the introduction of City Lofts St Pauls, designed by the world-renowned Conran & Partners, who have ensured this landmark development is now setting new design standards within the city.

City Lofts St Pauls comprises 316 one and two-bedroom apartments set in two interlinking buildings of 11 and 32 storeys in height, which when built will become Sheffield’s tallest building, providing an impressive contribution to the rejuvenated city centre and acting as an iconic marker. City Lofts St Pauls is the first development to feature design by Conran & Partners in Sheffield, bringing to the city the international specification for which the company is renowned.

City Loft Developments has a unique association with Conran & Partners, who act as architects, space designers, specification creators and design service teams for the majority of its developments. The end result is a distinctive signature style that defines sophisticated urban living. By incorporating fresh creative design and furnishing ideas from outside the property industry City Lofts Group is not just creating apartments, but design statements that are also aspirational and practical to live in.

Simon Hepden Northern Development Director from City Loft Developments comments: “City Lofts St Pauls offers the highest specification in Sheffield and has set a new benchmark for future developments in the city. The strong sales success we have experienced at the development has been a direct result of the quality which is on offer.”

Located to the south of Sheffield Town Hall, in St Pauls’ Square, City Lofts St Pauls has been designed to create a striking, modern building, which complements the historical buildings that surround it. The light and slender towers create architectural forms that are both original and elegant, whilst high quality traditional and modern materials have been used to ensure the building’s lasting contribution to the skyline.

The interiors at City Lofts St Pauls bear all the hallmarks of a typical City Lofts Group development, with cool contemporary design from award winning Conran and Partners creating clean, uncluttered living spaces. Materials have been carefully chosen for their quality and ability to age gracefully, creating high quality open plan living areas that are exciting, yet comfortable to live in.

All apartments benefit from full-height sliding windows to the living spaces, offering good natural light and a sense of space, with some apartments providing unrivalled views over the city and beyond. Under floor heating is provided in the kitchen and living area. The receptions rooms benefit from dimmable recessed spotlights controlled from a central point. The open plan kitchen and living area have Walnut veneered flooring throughout, while the master and second bedrooms include quality fitted wool carpets. Each apartment also has built in television and internet connections to the living area and main bedroom, controllable from both rooms.

The Conran designed kitchens include stylish stone worktops and glass splash backs, as well as state of the art appliances, including integrated fridge/freezers, dishwashers and washer dryers. Purchasers have a choice of coloured cupboards and a valuable utility space is provided for smaller pieces of equipment.

The bathrooms offer high specification Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware and Hansgrohe taps, fittings and Raindance showerheads. Natural stone travertine tiles, heated towel rail and bespoke Conran cabinets with walnut wood veneer, glass and mirror finishes extend the luxury look. The two bedroom apartments also benefit from ensuite 'wet-room' style bathrooms, with full height travertine tiles.

For added security each apartment has a video entry phone and a solid walnut veneer entrance door with a five-lever lock and ironmongery. The development also benefits from a glass fronted lift and concierge service. Secure parking is available.

Prices for two-bedroom apartments start from £199,950. For further information please visit the Sales and Marketing Suite adjacent to the development, or visit Citylofts.co.uk.
