A second tech firm is to move into Bristol’s Brew House creative hub. The fast-growing firm – which is not yet being named – joins digital media company Zone. The London and Cologne-based firm took half the 25,000 sq ft building last year.
The Brew House, pictured, off Temple Way, has been transformed from a previously vacant four-storey building into trendy loft-style workspace aimed at Bristol’s burgeoning technology, media and telecoms (TMT) sector.
The scheme is the second in the city for London-based Verve Properties – the firm behind the successful Paintworks creative quarter, which is undergoing a major expansion.
The new tenant is to move into a 6,487 sq ft suite on the second floor of Brew House. It has agreed a new 10-year lease off a quoting rent of £19.50 per sq ft.
The firm has said its move to the Brew House was driven by the central location and quality of the space on offer. As well as providing room for continued growth, the open-plan accommodation supports agile working and brings the team closer to the city’s growing creative and tech hub.
Alder King senior surveyor Tom Dugay, who acted for Verve Properties in the transaction, said: “The Brew House, with its modern loft-style workspace and creative fit-out, is perfectly suited to the region’s burgeoning technology, media and telecoms sectors. We’ve now let three quarters of the accommodation with just one suite remaining.”
The Brew House was originally built for W Rogers Brewery in 1865.
