New Era Square is a development project located next to St Mary's Gate roundabout on the Inner Ring Road of Sheffield City Centre, South Yorkshire, England. The development fronts onto the corner of St Mary's Gate and Bramall Lane, home to the grounds of Sheffield United Football Club. The scheme is also close to London Road, which has been long known for its large multi-cultural and Chinese community.[1][2][3]

The project was developed by New Era Development (UK) Ltd, a private limited company that was registered with Companies House on 11 October 2013.[4][5][6][7] The development has been dubbed "Sheffield's Chinatown" and "Sheffield's very own version of New York's Times Square" by the local media and has drawn the attention of the UK National press.[8][9]
