A landmark building backed by the mayor as a flagship housing development is delayed again, and reportedly won’t now be ready for people move into until at least 2025.
The Boatyard building on the banks of the River Avon in Totterdown was originally supposed to be finished by now, but following legal and construction issues, the latest update from the builders via a councillor is that it won’t now be completed until early 2025.
When Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer visited Bristol as part of the local and mayoral election campaign in the spring of 2021, the Boatyard building was the project Mayor Marvin Rees took him to visit to show how the ruling Labour group were ‘getting stuff done’.
