Contractor named for Bristol city centre office scheme

Developer Nord has appointed Skanska as the main contractor for its new office building, One Portwall Square, in the heart of Bristol’s commercial district.

Construction commences in November on the six-storey, 3,100m² scheme, which is located next to Bristol City Council’s 100 Temple Street office, with completion set for late 2021.

Designed by Stirling Prize winners Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM), the scheme is said to combine contemporary architecture with a focus on tenant amenity, wellbeing and sustainability to deliver a new model office for Bristol.

In addition to a brand new landscaped public square at the front of the property, each upper floor will benefit from a generous terrace.

One Portwall Square is committed to outstanding sustainability, energy efficiency and connectivity and will be built to a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating and EPC Rating A standards.

Richard Jones, Nord founder, commented “We look forward to delivering a best-in-class new commercial scheme unique for Bristol. This is a vibrant, creative and innovative city and our office responds to it with workspaces for a modern generation of tenants who are looking for a stylish, healthy, sustainable and connected place to work.”

John Brennan, Regional Director at Skanska, said: “Since negotiations began, we have worked closely with Nord and are delighted to sign this contract so we can use our knowledge and expertise to deliver this exciting, sustainable project for them.”
