Taylor Emmet commits to Sheffield’s Isaacs Building
The Heart of the City development has bagged another professional services relocation, with one of the city’s largest law firms taking 14,855 sq ft over two floors.
Developed by Sheffield City Council supported by development manager Queensberry, the reimagining of the early 1900s Isaacs Building has seen 39,000 sq ft of office space brought to the city centre, together with around 8,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space.
Taylor Emmet will occupy two whole floors.
Cllr Ben Miskell, chair of the transport, regeneration and climate policy committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Taylor Emmet to the Isaacs Building and our incredible Heart of the City project. For over 150 years, they have been supporting the people and businesses of Sheffield and the surrounding area with legal help and advice; something that will continue from their fabulous new home for many years to come.
“It is yet another example of how businesses are recognising the outstanding things we have on offer in the Heart of the City, including the likes of Elshaw House. Isaacs Building has been incredibly popular with many companies showing interest in basing themselves there.”
Steve Hinshelwood, chief executive of Taylor Emmet, said: “We are thrilled to announce our relocation to the Isaacs Building, which marks an exciting new chapter for Taylor Emmet.
“This move reflects our continued growth and our commitment to providing a modern, collaborative environment for both our clients and colleagues. The Isaacs Building offers the ideal space to support our future growth ambitions, helping us to achieve our vision of supporting and protecting our clients throughout their lives, while remaining at the heart of Sheffield’s legal and business community.”
Businesses to commit their futures to Heart of the City this year include Turner & Townsend, Barclays, AllStore, street food bar Two Thirds and café Hygge, while beer hall Kapital announced its intention to open in Elshaw House late in 2024.
Andrew Davison, project director at Queensberry, said: “We are proud to see another of Sheffield’s long-standing and independent companies taking space in HOTC, concreting once again the quality of our office spaces and the importance of being in the Heart of Sheffield amongst all the new and exciting offers developing.”
