From the mid-1990s to date, Carbrook has been continually redeveloped with a number of well-known companies attracted to the convenient location within a mile of the M1 motorway at junction 34. These include Abbey National, Freemans Plc and many retail outlets to include prestige marques such as BMW and Lexus. It is also the name of the local tram stop and contains "Meadowhall Retail Park", an out of town retail park not to be confused with Meadowhall Shopping Centre which lies further north. The main through route 'Attercliffe Road / Sheffield Road' is almost unrecognisable from its pre 1980s

Most of the outlets in the park are entertainment oriented, such as City Limits an indoor entertainment centre with a restaurant, sports bar, arcade and bowling facilities.
