Our first drop of limited edition homes at Park Hill lands on Saturday 12 September! The whole fourth phase features 125 new homes, each with raw concrete character, duplex living and incredible views across Sheffield. The first of them will drop next week with prices from £187,500. It’s the culmination of a 13-year partnership between Urban Splash and Places for People – with this release marking a new high in our collaboration.

Park Hill isn't the only long-term partnership powering ahead this summer. In Swansea, we're working with the Council across seven sites in the city and there's big news on two of them. First, we submitted a detailed planning application for the repurposing of Swansea's Civic Centre. And we and our partners Lovell hosted a consultation to show plans for a new riverside neighbourhood in St Thomas, delivering 124 new homes including 50% affordable housing.

Happy first birthday to CyanLines, the initiative co-founded by our Chairman Tom Bloxham MBE, which aims to connect Greater Manchester's blue and green spaces into a high-quality network of walking, wheeling and cycling routes. The vision launched at an event last September with the now Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, with an anniversary event to be held on 8th September. Speakers include The National Trust, the NHS, the Canal & River Trust and more.
