Work has started on the construction of a major hotel and retail development in north Bristol. The multi-million pound project will see the construction of a Premier Inn, Beefeater restaurant, Aldi superstore and Costa Coffee drive-thru on Fox Den Road in the Stoke Gifford area of the city, close to Parkway station.
Groundworks are currently underway on the four-acre greenfield site, with the project scheduled to be completed by spring 2024.
The development, which is being built by Swindon-headquartered construction company Beard and developed by Bristol-based Baylis Estates, will see the delivery of a five-storey 103-bedroom hotel and the shell and core of the Aldi superstore and Costa Coffee drive-thru – as well as associated infrastructure and hard and soft landscaping, including a pocket park and public art.
