Harbouring the future of Broad Quay House
We’re retrofitting Broad Quay House into a sustainable and attractive office space.
We are revitalising Broad Quay House by retaining the building structure but replacing the brick walls with an attractive contemporary façade, improved public space in front of the building and space for a café.
The occupancy rate of the offices is low as it is outdated and energy inefficient. Transformation is needed to make the building more sustainable and attract major employers wanting high-quality office space in the centre of Bristol.
By retaining the building structure, we save carbon by reusing not replacing.
