YTL Developments has secured planning consent to deliver a 123,330 sq ft Grade A office building at the Brabazon mixed-use development in Bristol.
The eight-storey building will include a ticket office for the new railway station, which is currently under construction.
Designed by AHR Architects, YTL Developments is targeting EPC A, BREEAM Outstanding and NABERS 5* ratings for the scheme.
A retail dining space on the ground floor will spill out onto a new civic square and the external landscaping will include mature trees, native shrubs and bulbs and shaded public seating, designed by Bath-based Grant Associates.
The new commercial building is part of YTL Developments’s approved masterplan for Brabazon, which includes up to 6,500 new homes, 2,000 student accommodation beds and 3.7m sq ft of commercial space.
Seb Loyn, planning and development director at YTL Developments, said: “There is now real momentum at Brabazon. It is already established as one of the best new residential addresses in Bristol. With the station on the way, Waitrose confirmed and now planning approval granted for our first office building, it is fast becoming a business address like no other in the city, offering the space, connectivity and opportunity for local firms to grow and expand.
“Central Bristol is struggling to meet demand for top-quality commercial space. Now city centre occupiers have a genuine and sustainable alternative at Brabazon. Hundreds of new homes are already completed and occupied at Brabazon. The new train station is under construction. New student accommodation and a dedicated community hub – The Hangar – in the former aircraft hangar 16U are both set to be completed in 2026. Waitrose has confirmed that its first new flagship supermarket in seven years should open its doors at Brabazon in 2027.”
Cushman & Wakefield has been appointed as leasing agent for the building.
