Kangaroo Works is a mixed-used, residential development. Located in Sheffield centre, the build to rent project forms part of the Heart of the City II regeneration masterplan. The scheme comprises 365 dwellings with a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, which have been built and operated under the Build to Rent (BtR) Sector model.

Designed by Whittam Cox Architects, the block has a peak of 14 storeys whilst a unique brick facade supports the Masterplan palette and industrial heritage of the original Kangaroo Works site, which the development now stands on.

The apartment block is supported by residential amenity space and 5 commercial units at ground level to provide active frontage to the streetscape.

Despite the urban nature of the development, high-quality landscaping, designed by Ares Landscape Architects, is provided within the courtyard alongside a sustainable rain garden.
