International law firm Trowers & Hamlins has advised Great Places Housing Group on its recent transaction with Urban Splash and Places for People. 

The deal between Great Places Housing Group, Urban Splash and Places for People will deliver 30 affordable homes in Park Hill, Sheffield. The group has previously worked alongside Urban Splash at Park Hill, delivering 96 homes during phase one of the grade two-listed building’s renovation.

Park Hill is an urban living regeneration project in the largest Grade II listed building in Europe. The project will provide homes, apartments, student accommodation, and a commercial workspace.

Helen Spencer, Executive Director of Growth at Great Place Housing Group, commented:

"This was a complex deal, but Trowers worked productively, drawing in specialist construction, property and finance lawyers as required, to unlock progress. It really was a team effort, and we are pleased to have been able to work with them to make this second phase of affordable housing happen at Park Hill."

Ru Anwar, Partner in Real Estate, said:

"We are pleased to have advised Great Places on its role in the next phase of Park Hill. This project will support the delivery of high-quality affordable homes within one of Sheffield's most significant heritage landmarks. This project demonstrates how collaboration can bring new life to historic buildings while playing a part in providing affordable housing to the community."

The Trowers' team was led by Ru Anwar and Jennifer Kantor (Real Estate), John Garland and Benjamin Garvey (Projects and Construction).
