goes to work The go-ahead has been given for plans to create innovative new workspace at Wapping Wharf, Bristol’s popular harbourside neighbourhood. CARGO Work, a new building made up of 90 converted shipping containers within the stone walls of a former warehouse, will mark Wapping Wharf’s first foray into the offices sector. Stuart Hatton, director at
Umberslade, said: “We have been overwhelmed by the way Bristol has embraced Wapping Wharf, so it's fantastic to be able to expand into the workspace sector, meeting the demand for a high quality working environment in the heart of the city.”
Wapping Wharf A plan for Temple Island
After much uncertainty, Bristol’s mayor Marvin Rees has rejected plans to build an arena at the Temple Island site, in the city centre. Responding to the news, Simon Peacock (pictured),
lead director for property consultancy JLL across the South West and Wales, who is based in Bristol, said: “Now that a decision has been made not to locate an arena at Temple Island, the council must grasp the opportunity to deliver a well-planned, high quality and vibrant alternative on this site. “However, we must also not lose
sight of the importance of delivering an arena for the city. The rest of the country is watching Bristol, so let's make sure this long-awaited arena finally happens. “We need to learn lessons from other
developments within the city like Temple Quay, where there is a dominant use and a lack of facilities, to ensure we create a vibrant place to work, rest and play at the Temple Island site. Perhaps we could also learn from other UK cities. I visited Manchester recently and was particularly impressed with the development of the
former Granada Studios by Allied London. The plans include a genuine mix of offices, residential, hotel, housing, bars, restaurants and workspace for SMEs. “The decision by the University of Bristol to locate its new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus in this part of the city will have a catalytic effect on the area and the council has the opportunity with the Temple Island site to set the tone for this part of the city. “The key to this site is a
comprehensive approach, in simple terms enabling the more profitable elements of the development to subsidise the less profitable ones and delivering high quality public realm linking to the new university campus and hopefully a new entrance to the station. “There could be a temptation to focus on
housing, but in my view this would be a mistake. Equally a series of piecemeal developments would be a massive missed opportunity. Ideally this needs a single developer to both plan and deliver a comprehensive mixed-use scheme with active retail and restaurants creating a vibrant street scene.”
