Clugston Construction has secured a contract to build a new £60m Ikea store in Sheffield.
The scheme will see construction and fit-out of a 31,500m2 two-storey store for the Swedish home furnishings retailer close to the Meadowhall shopping centre.
Construction is due to begin imminently and follows enabling works earlier this year to remediate the site. The store is expected to open in summer 2017.
Clugston Construction managing director Steve Radcliffe said “This I believe will be the largest retail scheme we have delivered in Yorkshire and will generate significant opportunities in the Sheffield area for our supply chain.”
The new store will create 300 jobs during its construction phase.
