A city centre car park on the banks of the Floating Harbour looks set to be developed with 70 flats and new shops built there.
The council-owned car park at The Grove stretches from the Thekla music venue ship, past the Mud Dock building to Prince Street bridge, and has been handed over from the council to its house-building arm Goram Homes.
Goram Homes’ new business plan for 2023 has listed The Grove car park among the new sites in its ‘pipeline’, which also includes sites at Hengrove Park in South Bristol and around Lockleaze. The other major addition to Goram Homes’ list of places it intends to build in the future is the Cumberland Basin, which has been renamed ‘Western Harbour’ by the city council as part of its long-standing plans for major developments around the basin, Hotwells and Ashton Meadows.
