The former fire service headquarters in Bristol city centre is set to be transformed by Cubex, alongside their funding partner Palmer Capital. The site, which used to house Avon Fire and Rescue, is adjacent to the Finzels Reach quarter which has also seen an incredible regeneration in recent years led by Cubex.

Cubex, who’ll be presenting about their ongoing and future development plans within the region at our West of England Economic Growth Conference this year, plan to transform the building into new homes and office space. The £136m mixed-use scheme, which is one of the last regeneration sites remaining in Bristol’s central business district, will incorporate 100,000 sq ft of Grade A office space, whilst also delivering high-quality residential space with the creation of over 300 new homes. The homes, which are potentially set to be rented, will include 20% affordable – ensuring the project meets the council’s criteria for housing schemes to accelerate getting the thumbs up.

Gavin Bridge, Executive Director of Cubex and speaker at the West of England Economic Growth Conference, said: ”We plan to bring our strong local knowledge and track record of delivery in Bristol to breathe new life into this site, bringing further badly-needed new homes, work space and investment into the heart of the city. We’re extremely pleased to have secured funding to enable us to develop another speculative office building of the same quality as Aurora at Finzels Reach, along with over 300 apartments likely to be aimed at the build to rent market.”

We’re excited to hear more about this development and many others as their plans form one of sixteen presentations about ongoing and future developments within the region at the West of England Economic Growth Conference.
