A landmark Bristol city centre office development has secured a UK professional services firm as its latest tenant. Forvis Mazars is taking 7,800 sq ft of Grade A space on the eighth floor of Assembly Building C.

The company joins a community of businesses at the mixed-use scheme including law firm Clarke Willmott and Norwegian wireless fabless manufacturer Nordic Semiconductor, which are within the same building.

Other businesses in the development include real estate firm Knight Frank in Building B and BT, which has its South West hub – employing some 2,500 staff – in Building A.

The Assembly scheme comprises three office blocks overlooking Bristol’s historic harbour. The project is part of the growing Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone next to Temple Meads railway station.

The public realm surrounding the development is now complete, including a public art trail by acclaimed artist Alex Chinneck. The scheme has also enabled the re-opening of a historic walkway through the site, reconnecting Temple Meads to the city centre for the first time in 50 years.

Assembly Bristol is represented by Savills and JLL as letting agents. Forvis Mazars was represented by Cushman & Wakefield.

“Assembly Bristol is setting the standard for a mixed-use regeneration scheme, offering flexible and smart workspace across three buildings, as well as cafés and public space,” said Chris Meredith, director at Savills.

“Incorporating the latest methods of construction and design, the buildings combine exceptional quality with excellent efficiency and impressive sustainability. It has been thoughtfully designed to deliver a thriving workplace with a focus on staff wellbeing, productivity and health.”
