Client Challenge

32 Eyre Street, a former landmark banking centre, required a comprehensive Cat A and Cat B refurbishment to reposition it within Sheffield’s commercial market. The landlord’s challenge was twofold: delivering major structural works across multiple floors within a live environment, while repurposing legacy features - including a substantial subterranean bank vault - into commercially viable tenant amenities.

The project also required a phased approach to support ongoing leasing activity and protect income throughout the redevelopment.

Our Solution

We managed a complex, long-term redevelopment, delivering design and construction through a phased, single-team approach…

Design: Reimagined the building’s identity, moving from a traditional banking environment to a light, flexible office space adaptable to a range of tenant requirements

Build & Technical: Delivered a full refurbishment of each floor plate, including structural upgrades and the integration of a bespoke tenant gym and wellness facility.

Innovation: he original bank vault was repurposed into a distinctive, high-spec amenity space for building occupiers

Project Management:  A phased 3-year delivery plan enabled staggered leasing and reduced financial risk for the landlord

Results

Asset Repositioning: Successfully repositioned a legacy financial building into a desirable, multi-tenanted commercial asset

Amenity Led Value: Enhanced asset value through the introduction of high-quality tenant amenities, including the gym and repurposed vault space.

Future Proofed Design: Created a flexible, modular environment that allows the landlord to adapt spaces quickly to changing tenant requirements

Phased Delivery: Successfully delivered across multiple phases while maintaining a live environment …
