Redevelopment Scheme Begins At Bristol's Harbourside

Bristol Mayor George Ferguson has marked the start of work on a major redevelopment scheme in the city at a ground-breaking ceremony with partners.

The final piece of the jigsaw to regenerate Bristol's iconic Harbourside is now underway at Wapping Wharf, one of the most significant schemes the city has seen in recent years.

Developed by Umberslade in a joint venture with Muse Developments, this first phase of construction will feature 194 residential apartments, including 26 affordable homes, and 865 sq m of retail and leisure space as well as a new pedestrian pathway linking south Bristol and the Harbourside.

George Ferguson said: "Development at Wapping Wharf is another sure sign that confidence has returned to the Bristol property market, where there is now more activity than in any British city outside London. This is one of the most important Harbourside regeneration projects in recent years, including a pedestrian and cycle route linking south Bristol to the centre, creating better access and encouraging people to enjoy the new restaurants, cafes, M Shed and other attractions on offer."

When complete, Wapping Wharf will be transformed into a community of up to 625 homes, as well as local shops, cafes, restaurants, offices and a 150-bed boutique hotel.
