Bristol's BLOK building attracts three firms to its sustainable workspace
Three firms, including the largest full-service law firm in the UK, have chosen BLOK, a refurbished building in the heart of Bristol as their new home.
Brought to market by real estate group Boultbee Brooks, the office building, which has strong sustainability credentials, is described as a 'New York loft landing in the heart of Bristol' and sits at 1, Castle Park - just an eight-minute stroll from Temple Meads train station.
Legal and financial advisors Irwin Mitchell LLP, have leased 6,928 sq ft over a single floor at the premises.
The firm has private client and business legal departments and has also developed a wealth management service.
Meanwhile, Bristol-based 5Values Consulting, the technology- focused recruitment specialists, have also moved into the building, occupying 4,882 sq ft.
In addition, Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners, the nationwide planning and design consultancy have taken 1,563 sq ft of office space.
"We’re passionate about reviving older buildings and giving them a new lease of life, with the aim of keeping our carbon footprint as low as possible," said Zoe Wood, asset manager for Boultbee Brooks.
"This means making considered decisions before and during construction, for the optimum operational lifetime (and minimal impact after).
"This is exactly what we have done here with BLOK in Bristol.
"We are thrilled to welcome Irwin Mitchell LLP, 5Values Consulting Group and Nathaniel Lichfield & Partners, and look forward to seeing how their businesses continue to thrive in this environment."
BLOK has a target BREEAM rating of ‘very good’, solar PV installation, on-site recycling, Fitwel 2 and a biophilic design. It also boasts a gym, wellness and shower facilities, concierge service, coffee shop, 181 bike spaces, EV and bike charging points, roof terrace and courtyard.
