AXA IM - Real Assets, the leading real estate portfolio and asset manager in Europe, announces that it has submitted a planning application for the overall masterplan and first building, Building A, for its Assembly Bristol regeneration project, to Bristol City Council.
In the heart of the Temple Quarter on the floating harbour, the new masterplan will see the creation of three characterful buildings, delivering an innovative people friendly workspace across 27,871m² of mixed use buildings and public spaces.
Led by architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, with landscapes designed by Jinny Blom, Assembly Bristol will represent a working environment ready for new business ways of working, through its honest architecture and sustainable, people based design principles.
Building A, so named to befit the straightforward ethos of the scheme, will be 16,723m² of flexible workspace, designed with staff needs and productivity at its core, incorporating opentable windows, external terraces and prominent interconnecting staircases, fronted by a major new landscaped square and garden joining the waterfront.
The Building A, which is expected to complete by 2018, is currently being marketed to prospective occupiers by Savills and JLL. Detailed design and the planning process for the second and third buildings that make up the masterplan will be reviewed to fit emerging occupier demand.
