Initiative Projects

In addition we have taken the lead in promoting a number of key projects. In the past this has led to our involvement in the development of Harbourside, the building of The Matthew, and the development of Cabot Circus.

Our current major project activities are as follows:

The Bristol 2050 Plan

One hundred years ago a group of visionary business men got together to commission an architect to draw up a plan for a city region. That plan didn’t invent new solutions to all the region’s problems, some were excluded as beyond its scope, whilst others were incorporated from other plans. What it did do was to provide a brilliant blueprint which provided a clear sense of direction for the development of modern Chicago, one of the most prosperous cities in North America.

 

 

 

 

South Bristol

South Bristol

Help us to develop a business vision for the expansion and development of South Bristol. Our interest in promoting change and development in South Bristol comes from an overall belief that this will support and enable regeneration whilst also improving the overall economic prosperity of the sub region.
