The trust bestowed on Alston Murphy, as Architects, has led to a very special relationship with the client which, in turn, has helped through the many ups and downs we’ve had to face in reaching this point. I have never known a client, let alone a first time client, that has had to cope with so many unforeseen difficulties in the course of a project. Their calmness, professionalism and sheer perseverance in the face of setbacks can only bode well for the care, support and attention that their prospective clients will enjoy during their stay in this lovely building.
STEPS has the potential to become the prime facility for patients requiring the latest neurological rehabilitation care to achieve the highest level of recovery. It will bring more than 60 jobs to the area and regenerate the site which currently lies derelict.
Lisa Davidson Wake Smith Solicitors (Director of Commercial Property)
We guided STEPS, as a new developer, through the best, and most effective, way to structure the project using a development vehicle. The work concentrated on putting together all the legal documentation on the land purchase. This involved solving the tax issues for development costs as healthcare companies are exempt from paying VAT.
STEPS management team are of the highest calibre and the project has all the attributes to eventually become a centre of excellence for neurological, orthopaedic and multiple trauma rehabilitation.
We have been delighted to see how this project has developed and look forward to seeing how this state of the art facility, under the guidance of a strong management team, will assist those who need it most within Sheffield and the surrounding areas.
