Fox Valley Construction Update - August 2015

20 August 2015

Last month saw the steelwork frame erected on the umbrella shaped coffee shop at Fox Valley in north Sheffield.

The design of the building has been inspired by the paragon umbrella frame – patented by Samuel Fox in Stocksbridge in the 1850s. The landmark building is now really starting to take shape and the blockwork is due to start on that part of the development. 

Over the last few weeks the team at Henry Boot, the main Fox Valley contractors, have made significant progress with the masonry works to the main retail blocks which should near completion at the end of August.

The insulation and membrane works have now commenced which will mean that the roof tiling works can start in 

September on Block B - the largest of the retail blocks to form the town centre scheme. Wall cladding to the rear of the building will then follow within the next couple of weeks.

The recent works carried out on Manchester Road and Fox Valley Way are now complete with the new traffic signal system in place and fully operational.

The main construction work on the new office buildings Fox House, Maria House and Samuel House is also complete with final interior work now underway ready for the first phase to be released in September.

Both the interior works and paving works on the car park are expected to be completed by the end of August.

Fox Valley is being delivered by South Yorkshire based Dransfield Properties Ltd – the company announced earlier in the summer that ALDI would be the anchor foodstore tenant at the development with a new format 20,000 sq. ft. store.

Once completed, the development will deliver 32 high quality new retail units, with a 600 space car park and high quality office space.  A housing development with 114 new homes is also being developed by Stonebridge Homes on a neighbouring site.
