The Crescent Centre redevelopment in Bristol will be delivered by Kier, as selected by CEG
The Crescent Centre redevelopment has been designed by Buckley Gray Yeoman and will be delivered by Kier, CEG has announced.
The new building will deliver 101,000 sq ft of lettable office space. Work commenced in October 2022 and is expected to complete in June 2024.
The Crescent Centre redevelopment will offer plenty of exterior green spaces
The redevelopment includes adding a one-storey rooftop extension and the addition of three private roof terraces offering views over Temple Gardens from the fifth floor.
Amenity space on the ground floor will include a café and external decked area, complemented with a two-storey feature façade.
Other amenities include a gym and fitness studio, an all-new secure, weatherproof cycle park with capacity for 164 cycles and repair docking facilities.
Rebranded as Crescent, the development will have the largest private garden in Bristol’s city centre.
Sustainable construction is a key part of the redevelopment design
As well as targeting BREEAM Excellent and EPC A, the project aims to make the building Net Zero Carbon in operation.
Reuse of the existing structure provides a 45% reduction in upfront embodied carbon over new build, along with energy efficient heating and cooling.
Nick Jones, associate director, Buckley Gray Yeoman, said: “We’ve long been champions of creative refurbishment and retrofit of buildings that both improves the user experience and responds decisively to the climate emergency. Crescent is going to be an exemplar for Bristol and will set the bar high for modern workspace with plenty of character and impressive tenant amenities.”
Jason Taylor, regional director at Kier Construction Western & Wales, said: “This is a significant development in the heart of Bristol city centre. We will be transforming Crescent into a modern office with first-class facilities.”
The Crescent Centre redevelopment is part of CEG’s wider Bristol portfolio
The development will offer floor plates of 18,000 sq ft. It also benefits from the ability to accommodate a range of requirements from 1,600 sq ft upwards. Carter Jonas and Savills have been appointed to launch the development to market.
Lawrence Escott, investment manager at CEG, said; “Crescent occupies a prominent location on Temple Back and will benefit from the best amenity provision and outlook of any building in its class. We look forward to welcoming new tenants in 2024”.
