An investment firm has expanded its Bristol commercial property portfolio after securing a £2.3m funding package. The property arm of private equity group Autonomous Investments, which holds assets in and around the city including the Skyline Park estate in Brislington, said the money had helped it to acquire a grade-II listed former stable-block-turned-office-building on the Leigh Court estate at Abbots Leigh.
The company said it would also use the loan from Bristol-based bank Triodos to refinance an entire street of industrial spaces it already owns at Skyline Park, the centre piece of which is an upcycled Boeing 727 plane that now serves an office and events space.
Autonomous said it was planning “large-scale decarbonisation works” at a number of its properties including the installation of insulation and solar power assets, as it targets a move towards net zero operations for the buildings.
