The tallest building in South Bristol won't be seeing new residents until at least the end of next year after the completion date was postponed. Work on the Boat Yard development on the Bath Road next to Totterdown Bridge is set to restart by the end of this year after a new building company took on the project.
But the housing association that will manage and market the shared ownership apartments has told Bristol Live that the development is unlikely to be completed in a few months and could be at least the end of 2023 before anyone gets to move in to the building. That's despite the main construction appearing to be finished on the building, which steps up to 17-storeys high from the south bank of the River Avon, and 15-storeys from the main A4 road level.
Bristol Live revealed in July that the firm building the Boat Yard development had gone into administration, leaving the site empty with no work to finish off the development being done. Then, finally, late last month, Bristol Live revealed that a new contractor had been found, with housing association Clarion entering talks to get The Hill Group to finish the development.
