Mixed-use development planned for former brewery

Plans to convert a former brewery into 94 homes as well as co-working space and retail units have been submitted.Located on the site of the old Ashton Gate Brewery and Thomas Baynton’s Brewery, and most recently home to short-term and underutilised warehousing space, the new development is being proposed by The Old Brewery MCC, a joint venture partnership between Change Real Estate and Cannon Family Office.If approved by Bristol City Council, the 94 new homes will be built alongside 21,527 sq ft of co-working and commercial space.The apartments will be in two blocks of seven and eight residential floors situated within the southern part of the site. They were designed by architecture firm The Nash Partnership to reference the area’s industrial red brick buildings.Existing structures on the site with historical interest will be retained, such as the Bristol Byzantine Weighbridge House and the Gatehouse and its stone gate piers. Some buildings such as the Brewery Manager’s House will be rebuilt whilst new buildings will complement the heritage and design of the existing architecture.
