Situated within 300 metres of Temple Meads train station, the scheme benefits from wider investment into the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone, one of the largest urban regeneration projects in the UK.
Two sites were acquired with a planning consent for 246 apartments. Recognising the size and configuration of the apartments fell well below national space standards, we negotiated with the local planning authority (Bristol City Council) to bring about design changes to increase the density to 376 apartments.
The scheme was awarded the Best Build to Rent project in the UK, at the WhatHouse? Awards 2021.
