AXA Investment Managers – Real Assets has appointed JLL and Savills to let the office at the centre of its Assembly Bristol project.
The 180,000 sq ft office is the first building to be developed at the mixed-use scheme which will eventually comprise shops, restaurants and improved public realm as part of Bristol’s Temple Quarter enterprise zone.
Harry Badham, UK head of development at AXA IM – Real Assets, said: “Assembly Bristol will create characterful spaces in the heart of the city, establishing waterside links to Temple Meads and with a major new public space on the floating harbour. The scheme will be office-led and the vision is to create a new type of people-friendly workspace.”
The investor bought the site on behalf of a fund it manages last year, in order to create a new district that could be integrated with the city centre and floating harbour. The scheme is also expected to include a waterside walkway to connect to Bristol’s Temple Meads station.
