The ongoing regeneration of Yorkshire’s towns and cities is a vital piece in our region’s future-proofing puzzle, but for these places to prosper environmentally and economically, a balanced approach from property developers is needed.

Unfortunately, all too often, we see the market prioritising shiny new developments over the upgrading of existing structures – a move which is not only unfair to our architectural roots but the future of our climate, too. While brand-new developments undoubtedly have their benefits and opportunities, the renewal approach to our cities’ existing historical buildings deserves the same focus.

At RBH Properties, we rose to the challenge with our Sheffield development, Pennine Five – the once secure former HSBC headquarters – by modernising it and bringing it up to accessible standards with sought-after modern facilities. From an environmental perspective, by transforming, rather than demolishing and rebuilding, it has saved over 150, 000 tonnes of concrete and steel, corresponding to over 170,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions — the equivalent of driving from Sheffield to London over 9.
