Hunt begins to find developer for Bristol’s Temple Quarter

The team behind the regeneration of Bristol’s Temple Quarter – the 130-hectare area around the city’s Temple Meads Station – has launched a search for a private sector partner to carry out the works.

Bristol Temple Quarter LLP – which is made up of Bristol City Council, Homes England and Network Rail – is looking for “a private sector partner that shares its vision” for the brownfield site.

The regeneration could see 10,000 new homes built, and 22,000 jobs created. The scheme is thought to be worth £1.6 billion to the local economy.

BTQ LLP says its ambition “is to create a series of thriving, well-connected, mixed-use neighbourhoods that help tackle the housing, climate and ecological emergencies, boost the economy, and make the city-region fit for the 21st century.”

Karen Mercer, CEO of BTQ LLP, said: “We’re looking for a partner who shares our ambitions to deliver world-class placemaking at Bristol Temple Quarter.

“Working together, we want to bring socially inclusive and sustainable growth to local people and those living and working across the region.

“By bringing together the public sector with the knowledge and expertise of the private sector, we can bring comprehensive regeneration to this part of our city.”

The procurement process is expected to run until the end of 2025.
