Fox Valley is a master planned redevelopment of a 28-acre former steelworks site, bringing a new town centre to North Sheffield. The £50million development, delivered by South Yorkshire based Dransfield Properties Ltd, has been carefully designed to reflect the area's rich industrial heritage as well as answering the need for a new retail and commercial heart in this growing catchment.
