A landmark building on Bristol Harbourside has been awarded Grade II listed status. Canons House, which joins more than 200 listed structures in the city, was handed the recognition by the Government on the advice of Historic England.
The news comes six months after Lloyds Bank announced it was putting the property up for sale after deciding to move from the building. The bank has owned Canons House since 1990 but is relocating thousands of staff to another site overlooking the floating harbour in the second quarter of 2022.
In October, Lloyds said it was discussing the sale of Canons House with Bristol City Council to see if there were occupiers, developers or investors who would be interested in investing in the redevelopment of the building. But now the property has been listed, the new owners will face restrictions if they wish to re-develop and will need to apply for special consent.
