Plans for a new development which promises to transform a derelict area of Redcliffe in central Bristol have been unanimously passed by Bristol City Council.
Change Real Estate’s plans for a mixed use development were passed yesterday (29 April 2015), forming the initial phase of the company’s vision for Redcliff Quarter.
Falling within a conservation area, this first phase will include 128 residential units and three/four retail units at 25 Redcliff Street, 14 and 14a St Thomas Street.
Bilfinger GVA acted as planning consultants for Change Real Estate, with architects Lyons Sleaman Hoare.
Work to start clearing the 0.8 acre site, which is located close to Bristol Bridge, will start in the summer, with construction planned to commence in the autumn.
The £180 million, 500,000 sq ft development at Redcliff Quarter is being brought forward as a joint venture between Change Real Estate, Cannon Family Office and ICG Longbow.
Plans for phase two, comprising 2.29 acres of adjacent land, bordering Redcliff Street, St Thomas Street and Three Queens Lane, will be submitted early 2016.
Ron Persaud, Director of Change Real Estate, comments, “This is great news. We are now able to progress with phase one of our vision for Redcliff Quarter, which will create a vibrant and exciting community in the heart of this historic and much loved area of Bristol.”
