Planning consent has been granted for changes to a major workplace scheme in Bristol.
Property development company Candour and real estate investment management firm Tristan Capital Partners’ EPISO 5 Fund, which bought the 4 Glass Wharf site in 2019, have been granted consent for amendments to the permitted scheme.
The re-design means changes to the appearance of the 210,000 sq ft flexible workspace development.
Amendments to the 2018 consent include sustainability measures, large landscaped public areas, an extensive brown-living roof, the installation of photovoltaic panels at roof level and alterations to the building’s fabric.
Internally, the cycling and changing facilities have been completely re-designed and will include 286 cycle spaces and facilities.
There will also be a new ground-floor and mezzanine area that will have co-working areas, wellness facilities and a café, which will be open to the public.
Co-founder Toby Pentecost said, “In a world where our understanding of how workspaces will be optimised following the Covid-19 pandemic is continually evolving, our new flexible design caters for the widest range of future needs and uses.”
4 Glass Wharf forms part of Tristan Capital Partners’ opportunity fund, EPISO 5, bought from a joint venture between Salmon Harvester Properties and NFU Mutual.
