A new seven-storey office building could be built above a flagship Waitrose store <\/a>planned for the new Brabazon neighbourhood on the edge of Bristol. YTL Developments has submitted a planning application for the office building, which will feature a rooftop bar and terrace and a fitness suite.<\/p>\n

It was announced in June that John Lewis Partnership had agreed a multi-million-pound deal with YTL which would see the first full-size supermarket for seven years open at Brabazon <\/a>in Bristol.<\/p>\n

Brabazon is at the former Filton <\/a>Airfield site and is being developed by Malaysian firm YTL <\/a>, which has outline permission for 6,500 homes <\/a>– of which hundreds have already been built. It includes a new train station <\/a>set to open next year as well as a 1,650 vehicle multi-storey car park.<\/p>\n

But the main feature of the neighbourhood will be a huge arena – with YTL recently submitting plans to increase its capacity from a currently agreed 17,500 up to 20,000.<\/a><\/p>\n

The proposed new office building has been designed by AHR Architects and is expected to see around 1,200 people work in the building once fully occupied. It follows the announcement of the town\u2019s first office building <\/a>, which is located next to the new train station which is currently under construction.<\/p>\n

Seb Loyn, Planning & Development Director at YTL Developments said: \u201cAccess to talent is one of the biggest drivers for business success. With our location and the new train station on the way, Brabazon connects businesses to the largest pool of talent in Bristol and the South West.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur offices have been designed to inspire people back into the workplace, and with leisure amenities surrounding it, plus quality brands like Waitrose coming forward, Brabazon will be one of the most exciting places to work in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Thompson, Chief Executive of YTL Construction said: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to start building Brabazon\u2019s Grade-A business district. We\u2019ve already delivered 350 new homes, with 700 more under construction, restored The Hangar into a new community hub, and begun pre-construction work on the YTL Live entertainment complex. Now these offices are a major factor in making Brabazon the most exciting new town in the South West. Our teams are proud to be delivering these high-quality premises for incoming businesses, residents and visitors.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The building will include a rooftop bar and terraceA CGI of the proposed seven-storey office building at Brabazon…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":448661,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,10965,748,3374,393,10300,4884,11387,1263,16,15,1798,100957],"class_list":{"0":"post-448660","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-bristol-arena","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-employment","12":"tag-england","13":"tag-filton","14":"tag-great-britain","15":"tag-john-lewis","16":"tag-transport","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom","19":"tag-waitrose","20":"tag-ytl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115260976763122369","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/448661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=448660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
