A rare opportunity to invest in an established Sheffield city centre scheme - not speculative, not off-plan, but already performing.

Comprising 95 one and two-bedroom apartments, the development was originally delivered as a professionally managed build-to-rent scheme and designed around what modern renters value most: larger-than-average apartments, practical amenities, flexible working space and excellent city centre connectivity.

With apartments from £150,000, gross yields of up to 8.4%, tenant-in-situ opportunities and resident amenities including a gym, concierge, co-working space and residents’ lounge, Iron Yard combines immediate income potential with the long-term fundamentals investors look for.
