We have some incredibly exciting news to share from Grainger PLC! This week marks a significant milestone for the future of premium rental living in Sheffield: the second phase of our beloved Brook Place development has officially secured planning approval from Sheffield City Council!
This isn’t just an expansion; it’s the creation of one of the city’s largest, most dynamic rental communities—a perfect fit for the ‘Artful Lodger’ lifestyle.
🏡 Building on Success: A Thriving New Rental Hub
The existing Brook Place community, which already offers 237 fantastic homes, has proven to be a vibrant success. This new approval means they are adding 318 more beautifully designed, high-quality Build to Rent (BTR) apartments right next door.
Once complete, Grainger’s total commitment in Sheffield will exceed apartments to let, establishing Brook Place as a truly standout destination for renters looking for more than just a place to live—they’re looking for a community.

✨ What’s Inside the New Phase? A Look at the Luxury and Lifestyle
The new phase of Brook Place is designed with modern living, sustainability, and community connection at its heart. It perfectly reflects our commitment to delivering best-in-class rental homes and creating places where people can truly thrive.
Here are just a few highlights of what future residents can look forward to:
- Homes & Amenities: 318 expertly designed apartments spread across two stylish buildings.
- Outdoor Living: Extensive landscaped communal amenity spaces and breathtaking rooftop terraces for socialising and relaxing.
- Community Hub: Ground-floor commercial space to activate the public realm, potentially bringing a great coffee shop or local business right to your doorstep.

- Connectivity: A new public riverside walkway and an impressive 471 cycle spaces to encourage green travel.
- Worry-Free Living: The peace of mind that comes with a dedicated resident services team—professional management is always on hand.
💚 Investing in Sheffield’s Future
This approval solidifies Sheffield as a key target location for quality rental investment. Brook Place Phase Two is a testament to the dedication of the entire team—from the architects and consultants to the colleagues who have championed this vision.
