Velocity Tower, High-rise building on Inner Ring Road, Sheffield, England.
The 66-meter Velocity Tower features a glass cladding facade with a west-facing wing and stands prominently next to Ecclesall Road in Sheffield city center.
The development evolved from an earlier project called Eclipse by Cala Developments, which planned for a 22-story tower with brick exterior and 263 apartments.
The building represents a shift in Sheffield's urban development, introducing contemporary residential spaces in the traditional industrial city center.
The structure contains 22 completed floors out of the planned 30, providing residential units with views across Sheffield's city landscape.
The architects incorporated a rooftop wind turbine array into the design, integrating renewable energy generation into the building's structure.
