The Heart of the City is a major re-development site in Sheffield, England. As its name suggests the Heart of the City is located in the heart of Sheffield City Centre. Mainly developed by Sheffield One, the scheme has created a main public space, the popular Peace Gardens located next to the Sheffield Town Hall. From this central space many major Sheffield attractions are nearby including the main shopping streets and cultural attractions including Tudor Square. A major part of the Heart of the City scheme is St. Pauls Place which includes three major office and retail buildings fronting onto Millennium Square, a main square outside the Sheffield Winter Gardens and Millennium Galleries. Also included in the schemes is a luxury 4-star MacDonald's hotel and St. Pauls Tower, a 101 m residential skyscraper set to be Sheffield's tallest.
