City Centre Site Revival: Offices and Urban Park Proposed Near Temple Way

They plan new buildings near Temple Way in Bristol’s city center. Two office buildings and a park are planned for an empty site next to the Gardiner Haskins warehouse. Developers want “best-in-class” offices there.

The site was cleared years ago, and the Leonardo Hotel now stands on its corner. The hotel opened in 2021. The area was previously called Glassfields, but it’s now named The Distillery. Owners want to finish the area’s revival.

The land sits east of Temple Way, between Broad Plain and Avon Street, behind the Leonardo Hotel. Temple Bridge and the harbor are nearby.

The owners, Royal London Asset Management Property, plan to consult with Bristol residents for feedback before applying for permits. A website has project information.

One office building will be 14 stories tall. The other may have shops or cafes on the ground floor. The company asked about an assessment to cover the project’s environmental impact.

The company says Bristol needs new, modern, and sustainable office space. They want to support local businesses, boost the city’s economy, and help the city’s social structure.

The company wants to use the vacant land well, aiming to create pleasant routes for workers and residents alike. They feel this will complete the vibrant campus.
