Construction News Image
Willmott Dixon has secured a £17.5 million contract to develop a sustainable office space in Bristol.

The company will deliver the BREEAM 'Outstanding' Aurora Office Development for property developer Cubex Land in the centre of the city.

The 95,000 sq ft project will be built at Cubex's £250m mixed-use Finzels Reach development, a major regeneration scheme close to Temple Meads railway station and Cabot Circus shopping centre.

Features of the seven-storey building includes a glass atrium, basement car and bicycle parking and a link to the Grade II listed Generator Building.

Willmott Dixon will work alongside a Bristol design team on the scheme, including architects The Bush Consultancy, Dickson Powell Partnership as quantity surveyors and project managers plus Hydrock Consultants, structural and building performance engineers.

Gavin Bridge, Director, Cubex Land, said: "I'm delighted that with our solid financial backing we are pressing ahead with this speculative development encouraged by the fact that Bristol has a shortage of Grade A office space which has already resulted in rental growth. Aurora will be the first new development to be completed in a number of years and will deliver the very best office space Bristol has to offer in a vibrant, mixed-used location."

Neal Stephens, managing director of Willmott Dixon in Bristol, added: "With a local office in Bristol, we're delighted to have the opportunity to build such an important office for the city's economy, one that will attract new investment and set the standard for BREEAM Outstanding in a city that was 2015's European Green Capital. We will work hard to ensure this project benefits the Bristol economy, partnering with local companies and sustaining jobs for local people."

The building will be completed to shell, core and CAT A stage by the end of 2017.
