House-builder Hill has formed a joint venture with Bristol City Council’s Goram Homes to build a £55m waterfront development on the city’s Floating Harbour.The 165-unit development represents Essex-based Hill’s first development in the southwest of England.Construction is set to start on site in late 2020, with the first homes expected to be complete in autumn 2022.The site is owned by the council and currently used by the Baltic Wharf Caravan Club.The development will comprise a range of sizes and tenure types, with approximately 100 of the flats being for private sale. More than 3,000 sq ft of commercial space will also be provided.Designed by architect JTP Studios, the development has been inspired by the city’s former industrial dockland, with designs said to reflect the vernacular of Underfall Yard, the former timber yard.
