Work is part of huge redevelopment of former Filton airfield
The first commercial office development at the Brabazon scheme in Bristol has been given the green light.
Designed by AHR, the building will include a ticket office for a new rail station that is currently under construction and will link with the city’s Temple Meads station.
The eight-storey building will run across 123,000sq ft and can fit up to 800 people.
It will include showers and changing areas as well as retail dining on the ground floor. It will also include a new civic square.
YTL Construction UK will be the principal contractor on the project, with work expected to begin before the end of the year.
Cushman & Wakefield and Savills have been appointed as leasing agents
The scheme is part of Malaysian developer YTL Developments’ wider plan to redevelop the historic Filton airfield.
Plans drawn by architects including Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios will see the number of homes on the Brabazon scheme hit to 6,500 in buildings up to 30 storeys in height.
A 55,000sq m further education building is included, while the amount of office space will run to 270,000 sq m.
Filton airfield was the birthplace of Concorde and supersonic travel, with the scheme named Brabazon after the famous Bristol Brabazon airliner.
