We’re proud to be supporting the transformation of a CPRE centenary RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden, which will take permanent root at Park Hill in Sheffield. Created by award-winning designer Sarah Eberle, the garden will be relocated to the estate this summer, adding a new green space for residents and continuing a regeneration journey that has helped define Urban Splash over the last 20 years.

And it wasn’t just flowers in bloom at Park Hill this month, as alongside our partners Places for People, we announced the appointment of GMI Construction Group to deliver the next phase of Park Hill in Sheffield. This phase will add 125 new homes to the hundreds of homes we’ve already created here, alongside enhanced public realm, EV charging and cycle storage.

A busy summer programme is underway at Royal William Yard, with hundreds of visitors already enjoying events at Plymouth’s waterfront destination. Highlights include the newly launched Hai Coo Trail, a temporary public installation celebrating haiku and Japanese short-form poetry running until 31st May. There’s also an Affordable Art Market, SUP sessions, wine tastings, quiz nights and the monthly Good Food Market returning on 7 June.

Over the last 32 years, we’ve created more than 2 million sq ft of workspace, helping hundreds of businesses grow across the UK. This month, that includes deals on 4,321 sq ft of space in the North West – including at Boat Shed in Salford Quays, where Fit Crunch and Yü Energy have both moved in. Other deals include lettings and renewals at Mersey House at Matchworks and Vanilla Factory in Liverpool’s Ropewalks district.

Many of our Urban Splash colleagues will be speaking at UKREiiF next week, sharing insights from our 32-year regeneration journey. Speakers include Suzy Jones, Simon Gawthorpe, Mark Latham and Tom Bloxham CBE MBE, who will draw on our track record of 6,000 homes and 2 million sq ft of workspace, as well as our 5,000-home pipeline.

Arcade, our latest retail and leisure concept at Brewhouse in Royal William Yard, is now home to a selection of businesses from womenswear boutiques to coffee shops, but first to join the building was Nala’s Pet Co., a high-end pet store specialising in natural and sustainable products. Here we meet founder Tom Hall who tells us more.

A rare opportunity to live at Royal William Yard, our waterfront neighbourhood in Plymouth. 9 Factory Cooperage has been developed by our friends Poppy Developments and is a three-bedroom home offering 969 sq ft of space, filled with exposed stone, cast-iron columns and vaulted ceilings. Outside there’s a shared courtyard and all of the culture and community the Yard has to offer.

Throughout our 30-plus-year-history we’ve shown we’re all about reinvention; it’s not our style to rip it up and start again, and Boat Shed is a great example – a 90s office block transformed into modern workspaces for creative, professional and growing businesses. Unit 2.07 is one of our last remaining workspaces here, offering 1,214 sq ft, with onsite parking and flexible, characterful space.
