The steel city commits to a green agenda

Sheffield’s property leaders are looking to attract new businesses by focusing on health, wellbeing and a green agenda, in a move they hope will bolster investment in the steel city in the absence of devolved powers.

On the same day it was revealed that global law firm CMS had signed a 20-year lease at the council’s 1m sq ft Heart of the City II regeneration https://www.egi.co.uk/news/cms-signs-up-to-sheffields-heart-of-the-city-ii/, panellists at EG’s Question Time event in Sheffield said a focus on sustainability could attract more occupiers and help to future-proof the city.

 As flood ravage the North, the effects of climate change are a call to action. In turn, these efforts could give the steel city an image makeover.
