Executive Summary This study aims to assess the property development process of a megaproject, with a focus on Park Hill Estate Phase 1 in Sheffield, identified as a megaproject based on key literature resources cited in this report. To evaluate this mixed-use residential project, a critical evaluation framework was constructed. Drawing insights from successful existing frameworks and factors contributing to the success of mixed-use residential developments, this framework enables the identification and rating of successes and failures at each stage of the project's development.

In applying the framework, it demonstrated the effective FrontEnd Planning (FEP) process of Park Hill Phase 1 that minimized risks and ensured a smooth trajectory, with effective adherence to the Development Agreement with strategic development appraisal, contributed by the strong project team and effective project governance. During the execution section, one of the key risks from the risk management was pausing the project a year during the economic recession which helped relatively mitigate substantial financial risks.

Moreover, post-implementation, this sustainable regeneration project had positive impacts on sustainability and socio-economic aspects.

However, it faced a drawback with increased property prices in the area.

The report concludes that Park Hill Phase 1 is a successful example of the property development process, serving as a precedent for other mixed-use residential megaprojects to aspire to and study, based on the overall success assessed through the critical evaluation framework.

2. Introduction

2.1 What is a Megaproject?

Megaprojects are typically defined as "largescale, complex ventures" (P.6, Flyvbjerg, 2014) that often entail significant financial investments, extended timelines, and substantial technical, social, and environmental challenges. According to the British Annual Report on Major Projects for 2022-23, it emphasizes that, during periods of rising costs, particularly in the construction sector, innovation plays a crucial role in long-term cost savings (P.2, Smallwood, 2023). This aligns with the broader government objectives aimed at stimulating economic recovery. Furthermore, Flyvbjerg categorizes megaproject management into four dimensions: "political, technological, economic, and aesthetic" (P.6, Flyvbjerg, 2014).

These "Four sublimes" can serve as criteria for defining megaprojects. However, it's not mandatory to encompass all four of Flyvbjerg's sublimes; a project should involve at least one sublime. Last but not least, it's crucial that the project should significantly affect society.

2.2 Project Description – Park Hill Phase One (PH. P1) The Park Hill Estate was originally completed in 1961 as a council housing project. However, due to significant disrepair, a mixed-use residential (refurbishment) project was proposed after

the estate was listed in 1998. The initial phase of refurbishment focused on Flank A, B, and C. The renovation concept took shape around 2005 when a collaborative team consisting of Urban Splash (Property development Business), Hawkins\Brown, Studio Egret West (Architects), and Grant Associates (Landscape architects) embarked on a mission to transform the area into a modern, sustainable, and inclusive mixeduse residential complex, fostering a vibrant and inclusive community.

Urban Splash acted as the client and main contractor for this project and signed the development agreement with Sheffield City Council, acquiring the estate's land in 2004 for £1 (Sheffield City Council, 2016) (Wainwright, 2022).

Following extensive planning of the design and construction, refurbishment construction commenced in 2007. However, it was temporarily halted in the same year due to the economic recession. Subsequently, the project resumed in 2009 and reached completion in 2011. Notably, the project garnered significant attention for its groundbreaking regeneration of the brutalist building. Urban Splash's vision was to transform the area from a "sink estate" into "a place where people would want to live and invest” (Hatherley, 2009).

2.3 PH. P1 (2011) as a Megaproject PH. P1 encompassed the category of a megaproject due to its technological, economic, and aesthetic significance, which earned it a nomination for the 2013 Stirling Prize. The project faced a considerable challenge in its attempt to perform a deep retrofit of the Grade II* listed large-scale housing refurbishment, setting a precedent for future brutalist-building developments. Notably, specific technological and aesthetic aspects of this undertaking required the stakeholders to assume complex roles to distribute the project's risks and ensure its viability for all partners involved.

4. Relevant Statutory Planning Policies

The PH.P1 set itself into 4 key policies, the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan 1998 (UDP) and Sheffield Development Framework Core Strategy 2009 (CS), that framed the project, particularly within the local development plans. Additionally, the project also involved with Making Places Profitable – Public and Private Open Spaces 2007 (MP4) project, followed by Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

Sheffield Unitary Development Plan 1998 (UDP)

The Unitary Development Plan focuses on the land and buildings in Sheffield, addressing city mobility and environmental concerns. Promo�ng benefits for residents, workers, and visitors, it is Sheffield's first statutory city-wide development plan in 40 years, excluding the Peak Park area. The plan covers new development, conserva�on, and land-use changes, impac�ng the lives and environment of all Sheffield residents. It aims to shape the city's future appearance, outline the direc�on of encouraged change, and influence planning applica�on decisions.

(Sheffield City Council, 1998) The Sheffield Development Framework is the City Council's Local Development Framework, prepared in accordance with the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. Including how the city will develop spa�ally, the loca�on of different land uses, environmental protec�on, design of areas and buildings, and connec�vity through new development and transporta�on provision.

Sheffield Development Framework Core Strategy 2009 The Core Strategy, within this framework, serves as the overall spa�al strategy and (CS) the pre-eminent document. It outlines the vision for the city un�l 2026, addressing the evolu�on of Sheffield, challenges faced, wider policy context, objec�ves, and spa�al strategy. The Core Strategy has two parts: Part 1 covers context, vision, objec�ves, and spa�al strategy, while Part 2 outlines spa�al policies for the city and its areas. (Sheffield City Council, 2009)

5. Critical Evaluation Framework (CEF) for Mixed-use Residential Development 5.1 Successful (Existing) Framework Studies 5.1.1 General Project Success Factors – APM Framework Establishing a framework for evaluating a project's success is crucial as it allows for a comprehensive assessment of its property development process based on specific criteria. This approach enhances the value of the evaluation by enabling a comparative analysis with other projects of a similar nature.

Consequently, it improves the precision of measuring both successes and failures. The Association of Project Management (APM) offers a generic framework that is applicable to any project, outlining 12 key factors. (APM, 2015, p.4-5) Framework: 1. Effective Governance, 2. Goals and Objectives, 3. Commitment to Project Success, 4. Capable Sponsors, 5. Secure Funding, 6. Project Planning and Review, 7. Supportive Organisations, 8. End Users and Operators, 9. Competent Project Teams, 10. Aligned Supply Chain, 11. Proven Methods and Tools, 12.

Appropriate Standards.

Fig.19 APM Framework 5.1.2 Megaproject Success Factors – LEP Framework Upon examining the APM framework, it becomes evident that certain factors are applicable to megaprojects as well. It is imperative to discern and selectively incorporate pertinent success factors in constructing the examined framework. Consequently, in the further development of the framework, it is crucial to reference a specialized successful megaproject framework, particularly one based on the methodology proposed by Miller and Lessard (2000, p.19).

Planning

By analysing the context of development and delving into additional literature, the key factors contributing to the success of mixed-use residential development have been identified. The foundation for such success often lies in the planning policy, which, notably in the 1990s, advocated for mixed-use development as a mechanism to revitalize town centres. (Department for Communities and Local Government, 2006)

Fig.21 Framework Studies Bubble Diagram

5.2 Successful Development Process Factors (Mixed-use Residential Development) 5.2.1 Importance of Stakeholder & Role Moreover, recognizing how stakeholders collaborate to achieve success underscores the importance of stakeholder engagement (SE), characterized as "all participants need to work constructively together to carry out the work at hand to their mutual satisfaction." (Klein,2017). Additionally, Yang et al. (2010) have identified "social responsibilities, prompt communication, and information input" as three critical success factors for SM from the perspective of project managers. Therefore, analyzing stakeholders' descriptions (social responsibilities) and their roles within the project (prompt communication and information input) stands out as a key factor in assessing the project development process.

5.2.2 What is Front-end Planning (FEP) Understanding Front-End Planning (FEP) in property development processes is essential for discerning why certain projects outperform others. In their book, "Strategic Management of Large Engineering Projects," Miller and Lessard highlight a significant aspect of FEP: “As much as 25 percent of total project cost might be spent on the exploration of issues pertaining to coalition building, governance, adequacy of institutional framework, the role of the state, population support, and the ecological, social, and economic impacts of the project.” (Miller and Lessard, 2000) 5.2.3 Importance of Development Appraisal – FEP Process "The fundamental element in every property development lies in its geographical location (Reed, Sims, and Sally, 2014, p.42)." The initial step involves confirming search parameters, followed by the formulation of an overarching strategy and objectives that will serve as the foundation for an Integrated Development Strategy (IDS) to identify potential development opportunities. Additionally, the developer's understanding of occupier demand is pivotal, supported by robust market research. Similarly, verifying whether the site is green or brownfield holds significance. As noted by Reed, Sims, and Sally (2014, p.48), "Brownfield land redevelopment can, however, be complex and involve substantial risks," particularly in cases where the site is poorly located or necessitates costly cleanup. Furthermore, negotiating and finalizing the transaction during site acquisition is crucial, as it can mitigate inherent risks in the property development process.

5.2.4 Identification of Risk – FEP Process A successful developer must possess a profound understanding of identifying the risks. Moreover, it is essential to categorize risks into two types: systematic (Market) risk and unsystematic (Property-specific) risk. As argued by Wilkinson et al. (2008, p.115-116), "a developer should never underestimate risk, and the level of risk in every development scheme should be identified and, if possible, contained or reduced."

Unsystematic Risks: Risks are caused by factors such as management decisions, labour strikes, technological issues, regulatory changes, or events specific to a particular industry or location.

Systematic Risks: Risks arise from factors that affect the entire market, such as economic conditions, interest rates, inflation, political instability, and natural disasters.

Fig.22 Unsystematic and Systematic Risks

23

5.2.5 Importance of Secure the Funding – FEP Process Securing stable financing for a project stands out as a crucial success factor, complementing considerations of profit yield and investment returns. Apart from profitability, funding is indispensable. In the context of urban regeneration projects, financial support can often be sourced from local authorities, with Reed, Sims, and Sally (2014, p.70) noting that "financial grants are available to developers and the public sector in the UK to develop derelict or rundown inner-city sites and buildings." Furthermore, Wilkinson et al. (2008, p.148) state that "at any given time, there are a number of government grants available," contingent on funding availability and the government's perceived capacity to catalyze change. However, it's important to note that, despite potential wider community benefits, in many instances, the financial incentives may not be sufficient to incentivize developers to undertake a project.

5.2.6 Importance of Project Governance – FEP Process The project governance, as understood from a management perspective, is described as "the complex process of steering multiple firms, agencies, and organisations that are both operationally autonomous and structurally coupled in projects through various forms of reciprocal interdependencies" (Miller and Floricel, 2000, p.135). The benefits of effective P3 governance are manifold, encompassing the optimization of investments, prevention of common failure pitfalls, and the motivation of staff through enhanced communication. The implementation of robust governance not only minimizes risks associated with change but also maximizes the overall benefits of the initiative (APM, 2012, p.8). Hence, achieving successful governance requires establishing a clear communication system between stakeholders who oversee the project, ensuring it stays on schedule and within budget.

5.2.7 Importance of Risk Management – Execution According to the importance of risk management, "Megaprojects inherently carry significant risks attributed to their long planning horizons and complex interfaces" (Flyvbjerg, 2006). Ensuring project success demands that "the developer must try to retain control of the development project at all times, and should implement risk reduction and risk control measures whenever possible" (Millington, 2000, p.220).

Endogenous Risks: Turbulence stems from political, macroeconomic, and social events.

Exogenous Risks: Tu r b u l e n c e a r i s i n g f ro m b r e a kd o w n s o f partnerships or alliances or from contractual disagreements.

Fig.23 Endogenous and Exogenous Risks

5.2.8 Project Impact on Sustainable Development – Post-Implementation The assessment of project impact should particularly focus on the aspect of sustainable development, defined as "the simultaneous pursuit of economic prosperity, environmental quality, and social equity.

Companies aspiring to sustainability are required to perform not solely against a single financial bottom line but against the triple bottom line" (Wilkinson et al., 2008, p.310). Analysing this perspective, sustainability can be considered through three sublines 1. An understanding of the relationship between economy, environment and society 2. Equitable distribution of resources and opportunities 3. Living without limitation Fig.24 Sustainability -Three Sublines

5.3 Author’s Critical Evaluation Framework (CEF) on Mixed-use Residential Development To evaluate the success of Park Hill Phase One, a Critical Evaluation Framework (CEF) was instituted to define the criteria for project success. This framework allows for a thorough analysis of the project's success and failures, facilitating conclusions regarding potential improvements to the overall process. The CEF, crafted for this study, was developed by incorporating criteria from existing successful frameworks and key factors studies. This synthesis also draws from insights gained during the lecture series of Property Development Processes, contributing to a comprehensive and informed assessment.

7. Front-End Planning (FEP) of Park Hill Phase One

7.1 Verification of Need & Project Objectives 7.1.1 Verification of Need As highlighted in a council-established report, Sheffield faced a shortage of affordable housing, providing guidance for the redevelopment of PH.P1, including commitments to affordable housing and shared ownership in addition to existing policy commitments. This mixed-tenure approach aims to foster diverse communities that offer a safe and high-quality public realm for individuals from various backgrounds (Sheffield City Council, 2016).

In the 20th century, numerous council housing projects, including Park Hill Estate, were developed as part of the city's expansion that caused the shortage. Consequently, PH.P1 adhered to the development agreement (S106), becoming significant in creating affordable and social rent housing.

Notably, it became Sheffield's first estate focused on affordable housing during this period.

The original PH.P1, constructed in 1961, faced disrepair due to inadequate funding, resulting in increased crime and a decline in resident satisfaction, prompting families to move out. The estate demanded redevelopment for several reasons, such as poor architectural structure maintenance, resident dissatisfaction (especially concerning safety), lack of private outdoor space (e.g., private balconies), insufficient social diversity, and inadequate public facilities. Addressing these issues through a sustainable solution that seamlessly integrated the estate with its surroundings was deemed a priority for the city (Sheffield, 2003), (RTPI, 2021).

30

7.1.2 Project Objectives As a mixed-use residential development, the project's return was in providing affordable and social rent housing, considered a "necessary infrastructure" (Ratcliffe, Stubbs, 2009). The refurbishment of Park Hill Phase One was guided by a clear understanding of the aims and objectives of the potential project. According to Syms (2010, p.6), "Usually, the aim will be to undertake some form of improvement to the site, in order to satisfy a particular market demand or need, with the objective of making a profit." However, in this case, the project seeks to counteract the process of gentrification through regeneration using sustainable methods. Therefore, the strategy of refurbishing Park Hill while preserving the original concrete building structure is integral to the project's success. The additional objectives of Phase 1 included: - Promoting the need for affordable housing in Sheffield - Delivering 260 refurbished housing units - Establishing 30,000 sq ft of commercial space with the Grace Owen nursery for the community.

- Creating a round-the-clock community with shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants at ground level.

- Renovating green infrastructure, including allotments, children’s play areas, and a bowling green - Creating a high-impact visual gateway to the city - Ensuring quality through detailed design of the interior and façade (Hawkins\ Brown, no date), (Sheffield City Council, 2016), (Place Yorkshire, 2023) Fig.30 Park Hill Phase 1 Objectives

7.2 Development Appraisal 7.2.1 Site & Existing Structure Appraisal According to the development agreement, Sheffield City Council entrusted land ownership and development responsibilities to Urban Splash (Sheffield City Council, 2016), setting the project up for success. Given the project's uniqueness, the site appraisal includes an assessment of the existing building structure.

The success of any mixed-use residential project hinges significantly on its location.

Park Hill (Phase 1), situated at the east end (gateway) of Sheffield near the railway station and the city centre, provides a convenient and desirable location for residents.

The surrounding linear park serves as a key natural element for the community. The project was recognized as a brownfield development, due to its Grade II* listed status, it focused on refurbishment, promoting sustainability and avoiding the costly cleanup from demolition. Consequently, an appraisal of the 50-year-old concrete building structure was deemed necessary. Despite the concrete structure's initial poor condition due to prolonged neglect, a thorough quality survey enabled repair and upgrades (Hawkins\ Brown, no date), minimizing potential obstacles in obtaining planning permission.

Moreover, as the Park Hill mixed-use residential development plans to incorporate mixed-tenure, affordable housing, and commercial elements, there is an expected and steady increase in the influx of new customers (Urban Splash, 2016).

7.2.2 Site Acquisition Ensuring successful site acquisition is crucial for the overall success of a project, especially concerning the design quality in the context of mixed-use residential developments.

Urban Splash secured the position of the Council's developer partner for the entire Park Hill Estate through a competitive procurement process conducted under EU procurement rules (Sheffield City Council, 2016). This partnership was solidified by a development agreement of the Section 106 between Sheffield City Council (the local authority and client) and Urban Splash (the client and main contractor). The agreement, finalized on 24 December 2006, outlined the development commitments and timescales for the estate. Hence the Site acquisition in 2004 was confirmed valid, and needs to obey the agreement included strict conditions, which mandated amenities such as retail spaces and a replacement facility for the nursery, along with clear ownership arrangements.

7.2.3 Planning Following Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the Development Agreement was established with strict conditions. The project site/estate, listed under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as amended for its special architectural or historic interest (Historic England, 2013), presented a primary challenge for the planning application of the refurbishment. Sheffield City Council, as the exclusive UK leader partner in MP4, advocated major project planning, designing, maintaining, and using public places. The objective was to demonstrate how open space improvements offer positive socio-economic benefits and how these benefits could be sustained for key communities (Keep.eu, 2021). It is reasonable to assume that Sheffield City Council encouraged Urban Splash to utilize this program for the mixed-use residential development for two reasons. Firstly, Park Hill was the sole mixed-use residential major project during the program period (2007-2013), including the master planning of the public area to enhance community quality, designed and planned by Grant Associates. Secondly, the socio-economic benefits of the residential and commercial elements could be assessed in the community/public space. Given the project's scale, statutory consultees from Sheffield City Council, Historic England and English Heritage (Urban Splash, 2020) played a crucial role, and their consent was necessary to obtain planning permission. These planning obligations were detailed at the local level.

At a local level, the proposal had to align with criteria set out by Sheffield City Council in local development UDP1998 and CS 2009 that outlined from land use, design and external appearance, dealing with the impact of the listed building, sustainability and landscape, particularly focusing on the CIL aspect. As per Policy CS40, developers in all city areas must contribute to affordable housing provision where feasible and financially viable (Sheffield City Council, 2018).

7.2.4 Identification of Risk Similar to other property development projects, Park Hill Phase 1 faced several risks both unsystematic (endogenous) and systematic (exogenous). The identification of risk is a foundation for risk reduction and management in the Front-End planning process.

7.2.4.1 Unsystematic (Endogenous) Risk 7.2.4.1.1 Planning Approval & Listed Building Redevelopment As mentioned in the planning section, approaching the mixed-use residential development necessitates ensuring the feasibility of the Park Hill design and surrounding landscape planning through planning approval on the listed building. Relevant policies, such as BE15 & 19 on the impact on listed buildings (UDP, 1998), emphasize that the development must not harm the listed buildings' character. They also specify the need to preserve the character and appearance of the building and, where appropriate, preserve or repair original details and features of interest. This poses a challenge and introduces uncertainty risks for the design team. Such uncertainties could potentially lead to development delays and increase local authority costs, creating pressure to provide alternative housing for the displacement of original tenants. This situation may strain the partnership between Urban Splash and Sheffield City Council and could even lead to the termination of the Development Agreement.

7.2.4.1.2 Technical Risks As mentioned in the Site & Existing Structure Appraisal section, the project may face various technical issues within the old, poorly maintained concrete building structure (Urban Splash, no date). Moreover, since the structure is the sole retaining element, deconstruction tasks such as removing interior nonloadbearing walls and façade elements (windows & balustrades) could pose significant technical risks.

Additionally, these challenges are closely linked to worker safety concerns during the construction process.

7.2.4.2 Systematic (Exogenous) Risk 7.2.4.2.1 Financial Risks Before a project can commence, attracting investment interest and securing funding is essential. In the case of this project, initially undertaken by Urban Splash, the need for co-developers and other stakeholders was crucial for its development. Given the project's complexity and the lack of immediate, obvious returns from affordable housing, attracting developers was challenging. The project involved higher risk than usual mixed-use projects, making it difficult to search for co-developers. Furthermore, if Urban Splash proceeded without any co-developers, it would bear all the financial risks solely on itself, posing a particularly risky scenario from a financial perspective. The financial crash led to a sharp increase in inflation rates, resulting in an overall escalation of costs for projects of this nature.

7.2.4.2.2 Market Risks As a consequence of the global housing market crash in 2008 and the subsequent downturn in the market (Sheffield City Council, 2016), it posed a significant market risk during the refurbishment of council housing into mixed-use residential buildings. This heightened the possibility of uncertainty during that period.

7.2.5 Funding Securing stable finance is imperative for the success of any project, with various methods available and primarily assessed against profit yield and investment returns. Before the project started the Council had committed to a “transformational scheme to bring investment to ensure an attractive” in 2005 (Sheffield City Council, 2016). Moreover, the initiation of the Park Hill Regeneration project occurred when Urban Splash secured funding (£47.4 million) from local and national sources, emphasizing the promotion of a sustainable community and the creation of affordable and social rent housing (Historic England, no date),(Inside Housing, 2013). The funding played a crucial role in advancing the project, allowing Urban Splash to seek co-developers from the competition and ensuring the smooth progression of future development work. Furthermore, the project benefitted from avoiding the investment needed for site acquisition, given the council's existing ownership, leading to reduced overall costs. However, major development costs, such as refurbishment construction and professional fees for addressing technical issues, must be carefully considered. This underscores the importance of the investment opportunity created by the City Council, and also the initial funding secured by Urban Splash, which significantly contributed to the success of the Front-End Planning (FEP) process. Without this initial funding, the development proposal would likely not have progressed sufficiently to attract potential co-developers.

7.3 Project Governance To ensure effective governance, PH.P1 operated under a transparent management system involving all stakeholders. This structure clarified roles, with Sheffield City Council and Urban Splash jointly serving as the client, directing their requirements through the architects. Urban Splash also assumed the role of the main contractor, collaborating with Roger Hawkins and holding primary responsibility for consultants and the construction team (Urban Splash, no date). In terms of project objectives, this governance approach proved highly effective. Despite a temporary halt during the Economic Recession and a two-year delay, excellent management and decision-making ensured the project remained on time (Anticipated Completion: 2012-14) and on the budget (Total cost 36.5 million sterling pounds). It prioritized the quality of the scheme and the initial architectural concept of the mixed-use residential development, minimizing the potential for cost-cutting measures that might compromise these priorities.

8.1 Risk Management – The Endogenous & Exogenous Factors A successful project not merely requires the identification of project risks before they occur to prevent serious problems but also necessitates the effective management of challenges and risks that may arise during the development process. As outlined in the Identification of Risk chapter, key risks can be categorized into unsystematic (endogenous) risks - Planning Approval & Listed Building Development and technical risks, and systematic (exogenous) risks - Financial risks and market risks. The following details the risk management implemented during the execution stage of Park Hill Phase 1 development.

8.1.1 Management of Endogenous Risk 8.1.1.1 Planning Approval & Listed Building Redevelopment To address the risk of reduction during the management stage, Urban Splash was fortunate to secure sufficient funding and engage reliable co-developers who played roles as architects and landscape architects. They worked closely to tackle both the building and surrounding landscape planning challenges. According to David Bickle from Hawkins\ Brown, "Urban Splash, at every step of the way, has positively shaped the proposal. Its input has been invaluable and its loyalty, creative thinking and nerve unswerving" (Architects Journal, 2013). The project brought the 'transformational change' while staying true to the original spirit, confronting and dispelling long-term negative perceptions of Park Hill. Urban Splash's effective consultations with Sheffield City Council, Historic England and English Heritage (Urban Splash, 2020) reduced risks related to planning approval. They showcased the dedication of this sustainable mixeduse residential development based on the listed building. This success became a key factor for the project and set a precedent for listed estate development.

8.1.1.2 Technical Risks To mitigate the risk, Hawkins\ Brown and Martin Stockley Associates took on the responsibility of addressing the key technical issues. They focused on ensuring the integrity of the retaining structure, managing the deconstruction elements of the building, and overseeing the technical engineering of the development. Their efforts resulted in substantial improvements to the concrete building structure, involving approximately "5500 specialist concrete repairs, all done by hand" (Urban Splash, no date), contributing to a safer construction process.

8.1.2 Exogenous Risk 8.1.2.1 Financial Risks In addressing the financial risks identified, the project took steps to minimize these risks by securing sufficient funding through investment opportunities created by the City Council, national, and city-wide funding, and engaging reliable co-developers.

However, due to the unforeseen economic crash in 2008, the project was strategically paused—an extreme yet efficient method to mitigate the substantial risk promptly. The project resumed a year later, initiating the lowest financial risk work, which involved installing prefabricated concrete balustrades and brightly coloured anodized aluminium panels with large expanses of glazing. This served as a transitional phase between the deconstruction work and subsequent large engineering efforts.

8.1.2.2 Market Risks The strategy employed to mitigate market risk during the economic recession involved diversifying the risk across various sectors, including housing (social rent/ open market), commercial, and office areas. This diversification was intended to help offset "risks associated with fluctuations in demand and market conditions" (Sell, 2023). Furthermore, measures such as increased rental yield and offering a variety of housing types (10 types of flats in Park Hill Phase 1) were implemented to adapt to shifting market dynamics. Additionally, as the project served as a mixed-use residential development, the synergy and cross-promotion between different components were deemed effective in reducing risk. This approach was anticipated to enhance tenant/ owner satisfaction and attract a broader customer base.

9.1Project Impact 9.1.1 Sustainability Impact Park Hill, once known for its dereliction and notoriety for anti-social behaviour due to a lack of funding (Urban Splash, 2020), (RTPI, 2021), has undergone a significant transformation through effective land use and deep retrofitting. This transformation has given rise to a reformed community, eliminating previous issues. The comprehensive changes made to existing buildings and their surrounding landscape have notably improved residents' living conditions by promoting housing quality, increasing green space, fostering biodiversity, and reclaiming derelict areas (UNA, 2021).

"Every green space in and around the building is purposeful – including allotments, children’s play areas, and a bowling green. The result is a building that feels grounded within its very own parkland" (Hawkins\ Brown, no date).

Fig.42 Sustainability Imapct

Considering that "the built environment contributes 42% of the UK’s total carbon footprint" (Historic England, 2019), the strategy of the Park Hill Phase 1 refurbishment not only preserves its "spirit" but also reduces emissions by retaining the structure and utilizing prefabricated elements during construction. The BREEAM accreditation of Park Hill Phase 1 is very good (Hawkins\ Brown, no date). This approach not only enhances air quality but also sets a strong precedent for future approaches to regeneration projects according to the UK Green Building Council.

9.1.2 Socio-economic Impact Park Hill Phase 1, as a mixed-use residential regeneration project, stands out from other property developments by prioritizing the creation of a sustainable and attractive neighbourhood over purely capital investment, returns, and profit margins. The project aimed to dispel long-term negative perceptions of Park Hill and stimulate development in deprived areas (UNA, 2021).

At the local level, the mixed-use development has positively impacted the liveability of residents and the community (UNA, 2021). The project has successfully fostered a real community where residents and businesses socialize through events like Christmas and Summer parties, supported by the Park Hill Residents Association.

"All of this regeneration has created a thriving community that the city is proud of – it’s not only the physical concrete structure that has been transformed but life has been reimagined into it through positive cultural activity" (Urban Splash, 2020).

Fig.44 Socio-economic Imapct

The living quality of the residents was promoted by this contemporary and sustainable estate regeneration, fostering diversity through its mixed tenures. The combination of public and commercial areas enhances the ambience and social dynamics of the estate. Moreover, the improvement in creating high-quality public spaces enhances social cohesion and the connection between people and nature, providing residents with rest points, green spaces, and a nursery, as well as facilitating a "round-the-clock community of shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants at ground level" (Hawkins\ Brown, no date).

Future developments in Phase 2-4 aim to build on these existing successes, particularly focusing on the implementation of affordable housing and student accommodation. This approach is anticipated to benefit not only Park Hill estate residents but also the wider community (Urban Splash, 2023).

11. Conclusion

Applying the critical evaluation framework to the Park Hill Phase 1 development reveals its success as a noteworthy precedent in the property development process, particularly in the context of a mixed-use residential megaproject. The achievement is particularly remarkable given its ability to the transformative concept of refurbish the original council housing buildings by using the method of retaining the building structure and fostering a sustainable and attractive neighbourhood. The project has not only fulfilled its goals but has also become an iconic monument in Sheffield, symbolizing the success of innovative and sustainable approaches to urban development.

The property development process encompasses the entire project, from the initial concept to the final building handover. The effective Front-End Planning (FEP) process minimised potential risks, resulting in a smooth development trajectory with minimal turbulence.

A clear understanding of the verification of needs and project objectives, meticulously guaranteed and developed by a robust project team, ensured that each stakeholder clearly understood their roles. This was complemented by a strategic development appraisal that distinctly identified the site appraisal and the evaluation of the retaining structure.

Adherence to the Development Agreement, facilitated by the local authority, streamlined the acquisition of the estate efficiently and cost-effectively. Additionally, a comprehensive understanding of relevant planning frameworks, both local and national, was seamlessly incorporated into the project. The identification of risks played a crucial role in risk reduction and the foundation for risk management during the execution stage. Finally, securing adequate funding and implementing effective governance proved to be key success factors during the FEP, ensuring a solid foundation for project commencement and progression, and ultimately delivering the project on time and within budget.

Throughout the execution period, the project demonstrated effective risk management for both endogenous and exogenous aspects, minimizing risks through successful identification during the FEP process. While the decision to pause the project for a year during the economic recession may have been extreme, it promptly mitigated substantial risks, contributing to the overall success of the project.

In the post-implementation stage, the project has yielded positive impacts on both sustainability and socio-economic aspects. However, a notable drawback has been the increase in property prices in the area.

The success of the Park Hill Phase 1 property development process can be attributed to the strong commitment and creative thinking of all stakeholders. Their unwavering dedication positively shaped the listed building into a sustainable regeneration project, enhancing the local neighbourhood. This combined with a robust strategy and effective management, ensured the project's delivery to a high standard even in the face of challenges such as the economic recession (Architects Journal, 2013). Park Hill Phase 1 stands as a successful example of the property development process, providing valuable lessons for other mixeduse residential megaprojects to aspire to and study.

12. Residual Valuation of the Project

To complete the residual valuation of Park Hill Phase 1, some assumptions were necessary.

The possible assumptions were referenced.

Assumptions: - The cost of Development of Park Hill Phase 1 is £36.5 million (Architects' Journal, no date).

- The average price for a 2-bedroom flat is £160,000 (Yorkshire Live, 2020).

- The average price for a 3-bedroom flat is £195,000 (Yorkshire Live, 2020).

- Because the extra-large 1-bedroom flat has the same gross area as a 2-bedroom, assume the price as £160,000.

- Each corridor level contains 26 flats, including 11 one-bedroom flats, 2 Extra-large onebedroom flats, 12 two-bedroom flats and 1 three-bedroom flat. Because the total no. of flats in Phase one is 260. Hence, 110 one-bedroom flats, 20 Extra-large one-bedroom flats, 120 two-bedroom flats and 10 three-bedroom flats (Urban Splash, no date).

- Because the Grace Owen Nursery (3500 sq ft) construction is part of the requirement in the Development, assume its price is equal to the construction cost £2650/m2 (Costmodeling, 2023).

- Assuming the office and commercial space are the same gross area, 1230m2 for each.

- Rent price of office space around £232/m2 (LoopNet, 2023) - Rent price of commercial space around £88/m2 (LoopNet, 2023) - Assuming development profit around 20% - Assuming the yield at 8% Fig.49 Residual Valuation of the Project - Assumptions
