One of the Bristol’s flagship building projects could finally be finished by the end of next year after new contractors were found to complete it.
The Boat Yard building - a 17-storey tower block that’s been built on the Bath Road next to Totterdown Bridge - has been left empty for months since the company building it went bust. But now, more than two months after the site was cleared, the housing association that is waiting to start marketing the shared ownership flats say they have found a new building firm.
The collapse of the Mid Group in July caused shockwaves around the construction industry nationally, and perhaps the biggest single building project that was left in the hands of the administrators was the Boat Yard, which has been built over the past couple of years next to the River Avon at the bottom of the hill in Totterdown.
