As the cores for the first phase of the Sweetfields masterplan top out, a new art installation has been revealed.

The collaboration between Build-to-Rent developer PLATFORM_ and internationally-renowned street artist Kid Acne covers two elevations of an existing, fire-damaged building on site due for refurbishment as part of the development, ending the history of neglect on the site and signalling the sea-change the masterplan will introduce to the area. The artwork, featuring the inspiring message ‘Positive energy activates constant elevation’, will occupy the northeast corner of the site and the façade of The Commercial Inn for approximately two years.

Sweetfields is a landmark new masterplan of over 1.3m square feet of development, including 1300 homes, two commercial offices and a refurbished Commercial pub, all set around a landscaped public square.
