Student rooms developer Niveda plans to demolish a former BMW showroom and a three-storey office building in the city’s St Vincent’s Quarter for the 520 student beds project, on a site bounded by Hollis Croft and Broad Lane.

Designed by architect Lewis and Hickey with MEP design by Waterman, the Calico Sheffield project will consist of 10-27 storey buildings.

The facade will be clad in a mix of brickwork panels and double-height metal panels

Niveda is expanding its ‘Calico’ student accommodation portfolio across the UK. The firm has more than £200m of assets under management as well as 500,000 sq ft under development.

It is planning the same high-quality student residential offer in Sheffield as achieved at Calico Liverpool.

This design is future-proofed and could be converted into residential or hotel use should market conditions change.
