of 1 and 2 bedroom homes
297 apartments across two buildings on the former Avon Fire and Rescue headquarters site
Our team in the South West delivered a £63m residential scheme at Finzels Reach in Bristol on behalf of property developer Cubex.
The project involved 297 apartments across two buildings on the former site of the Avon Fire and Rescue headquarters. The largest is Millwrights Place, which will provide 231 private rental apartments in a 14 storey building for Grainger, while adjacent to this is Coopers Court, a 10 storey building providing 66 apartments – 18 shared ownership and 48 affordable.
Both schemes contain a mixture of 1 and 2 bedroom homes, as well courtyard bike stores, roof terraces, a brown roof and undercroft parking.
This is our latest project in the Finzels Reach area of Bristol. Previous projects included the £33m Halo office situated nearby, which followed completion of the 95,000 square foot Aurora office in 2018, the city’s first BREEAM outstanding office scheme.
Like Halo, both of these buildings are connected to the city’s district heating network which draws heat from a heat bore in the centre of the city. They were constructed using a concrete frame structure and clad with brick slips, Euroclad Vieo, and Sinusoidal metal cladding.
Neal Stephens MD of Willmott Dixon’s Wales and West region said:
“As well as providing much needed high-quality housing for the people of Bristol, we used our specialist local supply chain to ensure the project acted as a stimulus to the local economy.”
