Acting as employer’s agent on behalf of Crest Nicholson, national property and construction consultancy Wakemans is well underway with the latest development at Bristol’s creative hub, Paintworks.
The firm’s Bristol office is advising on phase three of Paintworks, which is currently under construction.
Situated at the eastern edge of the site, the latest scheme is set to offer 4976 sq m of commercial floor space, including 16 commercial units, 11 live-work units and 210 homes – a mix of one and two bedroom apartments and three and four bedroom houses.
Tony Hooper, divisional director at Wakemans, said: “Paintworks is purpose-designed to create a sense of community and continues to prove very popular. This latest phase of commercial and residential space, which is targeting BREEAM Very Good and Level 3 Code for Sustainable Homes, will cement the development’s status as a desirable place to live and work.”
The £40million regeneration of a 2.47 hectare brownfield site in central Bristol is purpose-designed to create a sense of community. Located off Bath Road on the south bank of the River Avon, the project is just half a mile from Temple Meads railway station and within a mile of the shops and restaurants at Cabot Circus.
Wakemans reports that the commercial units have been built, with the remaining properties due for completion in November.
