Sheffield City Council’s Heart of the City development has received yet another vote of confidence, this time from Taylor Emmet, one of the fastest growing law firms in the region.
Taylor Emmet have signed a deal that will see them occupy two floors of the Issacs Building, continuing the procession of businesses moving into the multi-million-pound city centre transformation project.
Cllr Ben Miskell, chair of the Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Taylor Emmet to the Isaacs Building and our incredible Heart of the City project. For over 150 years, they have been supporting the people and businesses of Sheffield and the surrounding area with legal help and advice; something that will continue from their fabulous new home for many years to come.
“It is yet another example of how businesses are recognising the outstanding things we have on offer in the Heart of the City, including the likes of Elshaw House, Isaacs Building has been incredibly popular with many companies showing interest in basing themselves there.”
Originally built by paperhanging merchant David Isaacs between 1904 and 1905, the Isaacs Building has been reimagined to provide over 39,000 sq ft of high-quality office space, together with over 8,000 sq ft. of prime retail and leisure space.
Steve Hinshelwood, CEO at Taylor Emmet said: “We are thrilled to announce our relocation to the Isaacs Building, which marks an exciting new chapter for Taylor Emmet.
“This move reflects our continued growth and our commitment to providing a modern, collaborative environment for both our clients and colleagues. The Isaacs Building offers the ideal space to support our future growth ambitions, helping us to achieve our vision of supporting and protecting our clients throughout their lives, while remaining at the heart of Sheffield’s legal and business community.”
Andrew Davison, Project Director at Queensberry, said: “We are proud to see another of Sheffield’s long-standing and independent companies taking space in HOTC, concreting once again the quality of our office spaces and the importance of being in the Heart of Sheffield amongst all the new and exciting offers developing”
Cllr Miskell added: “The Heart of the City development continues to go from strength to strength with businesses, cafes, retail outlets and many others having already opened their doors. Places such as the award-winning Foodhall, Cambridge Street Collective, the Grade II* listed Leah’s Yard and, of course, Pounds Park becoming must-visit venues in the short time they have been open. We’re not finished with the project yet and will be making further announcements of exciting businesses coming to Sheffield in the coming weeks and months.”
