We are a multi-generational, eco-friendly and sustainable cohousing project in Sheffield. Our ages range from 0 to 70+. Households consist of families, couples and single people, some retired, some working part time, full time or freelance. We are excited to report that Share Instead, a well established local housing coop, is also part of our project, enabling us to offer rental options.

We purchased a leasehold on our site from Sheffield City Council and signed a build contract with Oakworth Homes. Construction work started in December 2022 and was completed in February 2024.

We would love to be in contact with you with updates about our community. Please check out the Join Us and Our Site pages on this website or email us for more detailed information.
