Hammerson plans approved for Bristol repositioning project
Urban real estate developer, Hammerson, receives the green light for its plans to enhance Quakers Friars in Bristol by the city’s council.
The planning approval means work can begin to increase accessibility, cultural amenities and landscaped public space. Hammerson wants to introduce new cultural uses, focussing on flexible exchange for community and creative events.
With plans to invest in the Friary Building, adjacent retail units will also be transformed with the potential for more services like healthcare and workspaces, adding to the recently opened restaurant Six by Nico.
Harry Badham, chief development and asset repositioning officer at Hammerson comments:
“Thoughtful investment into public spaces and the surrounding buildings will unlock a new cultural and community hub for the city.”
This comes as part of Hammerson’s ongoing commitment to Bristol city centre, following its programme of investment into Cabot Circus.
