Temple Quarter Eco-Cluster

The Temple Quarter development now represents the gravitational centre of the city’s office market - it is already a major hub for government departments and agencies.

Temple Quarter offers occupiers a range of BREEAM “excellent” buildings and unrivalled transport links to London and the rest of the UK via the adjacent Temple Meads mainline railway station. This means staff can reach London by train in approximately 1 hour 40 minutes.

Bristol City Council is working closely with developers and partners, as well as the Office of Government Commerce, to advise government departments and agencies on the potential that exists for relocating to BREEAM “Outstanding” or “Excellent” cluster or campus-style office developments in Temple Quarter.

Much of the 240,000 sq metres of new office space for which permission has been granted in the city centre is concentrated at Temple Quay or on nearby sites.
