The regeneration of one of the last parts of Bristol's Harbourside looks to have been finally settled. Grade II-listed East Purifier House in Gas Ferry Road is to be converted into apartments. It follows a decision by serviced apartment group Citystay to sell the former gasworks building to developers Linden Homes in a deal brokered by CJH Land.
The shell, which has been semi-derelict for decades, will now be converted into 26 flats with shops and a restaurant on the ground floor. A new boathouse-style building will be built on the western end of the site, with 10 additional flats above more shops.
CJH Land director Chris Glover (pictured), said: “This is one of the last sections of the Harbourside to be regenerated and has the potential to become the best waterside scheme in the city. Linden Homes have an outstanding reputation for delivering well thought out conversion projects and have completed several high-end schemes across the West.
“This is a very important section of the Harbourside scene and it is important the ambitious regeneration programme is handled with sensitivity.”

Chris Glover said: “The buildings form an evocative group and although they have been derelict for years they still convey the strong sense of industrialisation which we ought to preserve as part of the dockside heritage.”
