Sheffield City Centre’s flagship Radisson Blu development has reached a new milestone this week with the building’s structure topping out.
Work on the Radisson Blu development site, which forms part of Sheffield City Council and Strategic Development Partner Queensberry’s Heart of the City programme, has been gathering momentum in recent months and now the building’s steel frame has reached its pinnacle – eight storeys from the ground.
The 154-room “high-end” hotel will be positioned between Burgess Street and Pinstone Street.
Serving to “enhance Sheffield’s social scene”, an upmarket rooftop bar and terrace is also planned for the hotel.
To celebrate the milestone, the project’s construction contractor McLaughlin and Harvey welcomed key representatives from Radisson Hotel Group, Sheffield City Council, Queensberry, HLM Architects and Turner and Townsend for a tour of the site, along with an official topping-out ceremony.
Pat Cussen, Regional director UK and Ireland at Radisson Hotel Group, said: “We’re thrilled to be at the forefront of the Heart of the City programme and to see the hotel taking shape. Having presence in such a great city and adding this new property to our portfolio of Radisson Blu hotels across the UK is a fantastic achievement.”
Andrew Davison, project director at Queensberry, added: “It’s great to celebrate this important milestone for the scheme today. The Radisson Blu development really epitomises what we are trying to achieve with Heart of the City – attracting some of the very best brands in the business and breathing new life into the city of Sheffield.”
