Around 130 hectares of brownfield land are being primed for the next phases of development around the Temple Meads station.
The transformation of Bristol Temple Quarter is one of Europe’s most ambitious city centre regeneration projects with the opportunity to create at least 10,000 new homes.
The existing public sector partners behind the delivery of Bristol Temple Quarter include Bristol City Council, Homes England, West of England Combined Authority and Network Rail.
Grouped together as the BTQ LLP they have now started the hunt for a potential private sector development partner.
Bristol Temple Quarter will be delivered in two phases, supported by an emerging masterplan that will set a framework for new development.

Phase 2:
Regeneration of St. Philip’s Marsh to the east of the station, totalling 65 hectares.
