Today, we're taking a moment to reflect on the transformational impact of our partnership with Sheffield City Council on Heart of the City.
Appointed as Strategic Development Partner in 2016, we embraced the challenge of reimagining Sheffield’s city centre, creating a blueprint for 21st-century urban renewal. Over the course of nearly a decade, together we have delivered a thoughtfully phased scheme that has:
🏢 Introduced high-quality office space attracting forward-thinking businesses
🏨 Delivered a new hotel that strengthens Sheffield’s offer as a destination
🍽️ Cultivated a vibrant mix of leisure, retail, residential and food & beverage spaces
🌿 Celebrated sustainability through intelligent architecture and the repurposing of historic buildings
🚶 Enriched the streetscape with distinctive public spaces designed for people, not just cars.

We are looking forward to welcoming a brand new name to the city at Heart of the City - @damagedsocietystore 🥳
The new shop will be located on Pinstone Street and will offer a mixture of fashion items for both men and women. Heart of the City just keeps getting better and better.

Congratulations once again to @cambridge_street_collective, which has been named the Best Food Hall in the UK at the 2025 @britishstreetfoodawards for the second year in a row! 🏆
The venue continues to thrive, firmly cementing its place as one of the most popular venues not only in the Heart of the City, but in the city as a whole. Well done!

Fantastic time at REVO Conference 2025. Our founder, Paul Sargent, took part in the Wrecking Balls or Revival Plans panel alongside James Cons, Cat White and Sascha Lewin.
Elsewhere at the event, there were plenty of conversations with questions facing our towns and cities, such as how do we unlock existing value, how do we design places with people truly at the centre, and how do we harness innovations to create environments that stand the test of time?
For us at Queensberry, these themes sit right at the heart of what we do as development partners and urban regenerators.

Recently, Metquarter welcomed designer children's wear store, @nuvolachildrenswear , as its newest retail opening in the centre. The 3,000 sq ft space is a one-stop premium clothing and accessories store for kids.
Our leasing & asset manager Jason said: “It’s a testament to Metquarter’s appeal that people who have previously traded a business in the centre are eager to return. We’re delighted to welcome Nuvola and proud to see children’s fashion represented again within our tenant mix.”

We love seeing our projects thriving, and the recent Lobster Yards takeover at @boroughyards is certainly doing that.
From acclaimed contemporary artist Philip Colbert, the development's historic arches make the perfect backdrop for the hyperpop world of large-scale lobster sculptures and site-specific vinyl installations.
You have until the 30th of October to check it out. 🦞

This is the Gaumont Building in Sheffield's Heart of the City, which has stood proudly on the corner of Barker's Pool in the city centre for decades. Instead of complete demolition, we wanted to refurbish the building, ready to give this historic building a new lease of life, while maximising its green credentials without releasing tonnes of embodied carbon.

Happy first birthday to @leahsyard 🎂
Our work with @sheffieldcitycouncil on Heart of the City has led to many incredible new buildings, revitalising the city centre and creating a vibrant mixed-use destination.
But when it comes to bringing forgotten disused spaces back to life, Leah's Yard is a leading industry standard. We're incredibly proud of what we've achieved in bringing this Grade II Listed site back into everyday use, once again making it a hub of creativity and innovation, just as it was when it was first built in the 19th Century. Now we can celebrate many more birthdays and milestones.

Heart of the City is set to welcome @charitysuper.mkt later this year as the multi-charity shop brings its curated collection of quality, second-hand fashion and accessories to Sheffield.
Co-founded Red or Dead's Wayne Hemingway, the award-winning store will open its doors in September until the end of the year.
Their ethos surrounding sustainability aligns with Queensberry's values perfectly, with their mission being that every pound you spend is a ‘good pound’, with your money going towards a range of brilliant causes.

Before and after 🔎
When we restored these heritage buildings in the heart of the Capital, we repurposed 8,500 sq m of railway arches for brands to use as their canvas to create and innovate.
These before-and-after viewpoints show the huge impact the transformation had on the local area.

The difference between Leah's Yard before we started work on Heart of the City to now is stark.
The Grade II* listed building was first constructed in the early 19th century, and after decades of falling into disrepair is now a collection of independent businesses, artists and creators.

Liverpool's @metquarter is a gem in the city's bustling centre, and we've loved being the centre's asset managers for years now.
As the shift from retail has happened nationwide, we've made this space into a truly mixed-use hub, where not only can you shop and dine but watch cinema and even learn.
Listen to what our founder Paul Sargent has to say 🔊

Green spaces aren’t just nice to look at – they’re vital for the wellbeing of communities. 🌳
At Queensberry, we believe that incorporating parks, landscaping, and natural elements into urban regeneration projects is key to enhancing quality of life - you can see it in action in our projects past, present and future.

Excellent progress is being made to Sheffield's latest work of art right in the centre of the Heart of the City.
'Rivers & Hills' is set to be the city's largest mural at 483.69 square metres and will be painted across the NCP building overlooking Pound's Park. A collaborative piece by artists Rob Lee and INSA, it will pay homage to the Sheffield as a city built on hills and rivers.
Congratulations to all involved!
