Chesterfield Waterside developer takes prestigious regional award
The company behind the multi-million pound Chesterfield Waterside regeneration scheme has won a prestigious regional award for another project in nearby Sheffield.
Bolsterstone Group PLC, based in our town scooped the Property Deal of The Year accolade at the Insider Yorkshire Property Industry Awards 2023 (21 September).
It recognises the £150 million of investment which was secured from Legal & General by regeneration specialist Bolsterstone in order to bring forward the first phase of the £300 million West Bar scheme in Sheffield City centre.
Held at New Dock Hall in Leeds, the Insider Yorkshire Property Industry Awards were hosted by world-cup winning former rugby union player Kyran Bracken MBE.
Judges of the awards acknowledged that the ‘West Bar development will be transformative for Sheffield.’
Peter Swallow, Managing Director of Bolsterstone Group PLC and Chair of Destination Chesterfield, collected the award at the black-tie event.
He said: “I am delighted that West Bar has been recognised. We are immensely proud of what we have achieved in conjunction with our partners. West Bar is a truly collaborative scheme that will deliver lasting and far-reaching change to Sheffield City centre.”
The Property Deal of The Year award is one of a number of awards that Bolsterstone’s projects have been shortlisted for in 2023.
The large floorplate grade A office – One Waterside Place – at the £360 million Chesterfield Waterside regeneration scheme was recently Highly Commended in the Regeneration and Restoration Project of the Year category in the 2023 East Midlands Property Awards.
Like West Bar, Chesterfield Waterside is a large-scale regeneration project. It is through its public/private partnership model that Bolsterstone is transforming cities and communities throughout the region, creating new places to live, work and invest.
Co-founded in Chesterfield in 1989 by Peter Swallow and Mike Corker, Bolsterstone has built a significant reputation as a regeneration specialist and is currently leading more than three quarters of a billion pounds of regeneration projects working alongside the public sector – current examples being West Bar, Chesterfield Waterside and New Bolton Woods in Bradford.
In addition to regeneration, Bolsterstone is also renowned for commercial and industrial developments, acquiring new sites and redeveloping existing sites for major names like B&Q, KFC, Aldi, UPS and Costa.
“Whether it’s a private or public partnership, our aim is to create places people want to live, work and invest throughout the UK,” Peter added.
Bolsterstone Group supports the marketing and economic growth of the town through Chesterfield Champions, a network of over 200 organisations across Chesterfield and North Derbyshire.
