City Lofts St Pauls is a landmark development comprising 316 one and two-bedroom Conran designed apartments set in two 12 and 32 storey towers in the heart of Sheffield City Centre. The development will provide an impressive contribution to the area’s £180 million Heart of the City regeneration project and will create Sheffield’s tallest building, an iconic marker for the Sheffield City Centre.
In addition to the residential plans, City Lofts St Pauls is part of a joint venture development with CTP St James which will also create approximately 22,000 sq ft of retail and leisure facilities. The combined scheme will breath new life into the surrounding streets by bringing new opportunities and up to 500 new residents to the area.
City Lofts St Pauls has been beautifully designed to create a striking, modern building whilst complementing the adjacent Grade I listed City Hall and the modern Winter Gardens. 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.
City Lofts St Pauls also incorporates space between the two towers used as a private resident’s garden. Situated on the third floor level and accessed by a staircase from the entrance lobby, this space is surrounded by private terraces belonging to the third floor apartments, accessible from the bedrooms and reception rooms. Bordered by Yew hedges, the terraces provide residents with privacy while also a serving as a visual bridge between the architecture and the nearby green spaces.
Residents in the tower will enjoy panoramic views over Sheffield City Centre and the newly created Winter Garden and Peace Garden below. There are also plans to include a communal roof terrace and residents will benefit from two levels of integrated basement parking.
The interiors at City Lofts St Pauls have cool contemporary design from award winning Conran and Partners creating uncluttered living spaces. Materials have been 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. Underfloor heating is provided throughout with walnut veneered flooring in the open plan living areas and high quality kitchen and bathroom fittings.
City Lofts St Pauls is currently under construction and is due for completion in 2009.
