The building will provide some of the largest open plan office floor plates in Bristol of up to 27,377 sq ft. CEG will also offer its ‘Let Ready Go’ studio concept, offering fully-equipped internet ready workstations enabling businesses immediate set up, expansion and contraction and access to meeting and amenity space.
More than 500 construction jobs will be created per annum during the two-year build programme, as well as six local apprenticeship opportunities. Once complete, the building will accommodate in excess of 2,000 people.
Paul Richardson, investment manager at CEG, added: "We are making an immediate start on site in order to be in a position to offer 200,000 sq ft of the highest quality office space ready for occupation by the first quarter of 2023.
"There is an acute shortage in supply of grade A offices in Bristol and we've already seen a record number of pre let office deals in the city this year."
Neil Dorrington, construction director for Bristol-based BAM Construction, said: "This must be one of the most ambitious schemes ever constructed in Bristol, which is a tremendous testament to CEG.
"BAM’s early and close association with the development of it over a prolonged period means we can bring our expertise in digital construction and our sustainability credentials to bear even more so than on many other schemes."
