Pedal power is giving Bristol a UK first with a Brompton Bike Hire dock giving construction workers access to eight folding bikes to help ease their commute during the build. The installation will be the first of its kind in the UK at an operational construction site. Normally, bike hire docks are put into place for the public once building projects are completed.

Building A has been awarded a Platinum Wired Certification rating, due to its specific emphasis on sustainability and occupier wellness. It is also targeting BREEAM Excellent and WELL enabled accreditations.

The first tower crane has been installed on site, to help the next stage of development of Bristol’s latest office, Building A.

Assembly’s agents also picked up awards with Savills winning both the Most Active Agent by Acquisitions and also by Disposals awards, with JLL winning the top Investment Agency Award.

A good night for all the team!

Marvin Rees, Mayor of Bristol, joined developers AXA IM - Real Assets and Bell Hammer to celebrate the commencement of works on Building A, the first phase of the development, by main contractor Galliford Try.

Work is underway on Building A at Assembly Bristol, the first of three potential buildings across the development, which will consist of 200,000 sq ft of office and retail space. The new building includes range of flexible office spaces designed for both local and global businesses in the services, creative, consultancy, financial, media and technology sectors.

“By speculatively developing a first building of 200,000 sq ft our commitment to Bristol is clear and we expect a positive reaction from occupiers already in the city needing high quality space as well as attracting newcomers.”
