Work to complete one of Bristol’s flagship housing developments has stopped after the firm building it went into administration. The 17-storey ‘Boatyard’ development already dominates the skyline next to the River Avon on the Bath Road in Totterdown.
But the immediate future of the development is in doubt after the collapse of the developers. And now the housing association that have been selling shared ownership ‘affordable’ flats at the Boat Yard are left hoping that the administrators appointed to sort through the collapse of the Mid Group can quickly find another developer to complete the project.
The Boatyard was nearing completion - it was scheduled to finish in August and Clarion have been marketing the apartments since the early summer. But work stopped last week, and on Thursday, workers for the Mid Group were told their jobs were lost as the company went into administration.
