A former Mexican fast-food restaurant has become the new head office of Bristol-based specialist property developer Urban Creation.
The firm, which was launched 20 years ago, spent nearly 11 months converting the Mission Burrito outlet on Park Street, pictured, into what it is calling “a physical manifestation of [its] refreshed identity and growing ambitions”.
The head office relocation follows the firm’s rebrand just over a year ago, which split the business into two distinct sub-brands – Urban Student for high-end student accommodation and Urban Apartments for luxury serviced apartments.
The open-plan office features a sleek, industrial design with exposed ceilings, steel fixtures and skylights, creating a vibrant and collaborative environment, the firm said, adding that it aligns with its core values of innovation, quality and forward thinking.
The office project, which began in February last year with a major strip-out. Construction started in August and the renovation was completed in November.
Urban Creation founder Jonathan Brecknell said: “We’re thrilled with our new office and the opportunity it provides for our team to continue growing and delivering exceptional service,.
“The growth we have seen in the past year has been so rewarding. We’re excited to see where the next phase takes us.”
Urban Creation is currently restoring another building on Park Street to its original state, transforming it into 16 luxury student accommodation apartments, with a spacious retail area on the ground floor.
It also recently acquired two buildings on Whiteladies Road to further expand its large property portfolio in the Clifton area.
The firm, which specialises in transforming unusual and often historic buildings into high-end student accommodation and commercial space, has also completed a number of projects in London and Bath.
