House builder Hill has broken ground at its planned 166-home harbourside neighbourhood at Baltic Wharf in Bristol.<\/p>\n

Hill is delivering the project on Spike Island in joint venture with Goram Homes, the city council\u2019s development arm. <\/p>\n

The public\u2013private partnership has been key to unlocking what was long viewed as one of Bristol\u2019s most challenging central brownfield plots.<\/p>\n

Andy Hill OBE, Hill\u2019s founder and chief executive, said the JV would transform a previously closed-off corner of the harbourside into new public spaces and a fully accessible waterfront.<\/p>\n

Goram Homes managing director Stephen Baker said the milestone proves that \u201ceven the most complex city-centre sites\u201d can help tackle Bristol\u2019s housing shortage when public and private partners pull in the same direction.<\/p>\n

The new neighbourhood will deliver one- to three-bed flats, flexible commercial space, a caf\u00e9 and landscaped areas.<\/p>\n

It also forms part of wider plans to reconnect the River Avon with the Floating Harbour through new pedestrian routes and public realm.<\/p>\n

Homes will come with green roofs, air-source heat pumps, solar PV and heavy cycle storage to push sustainability and cut car trips. The scheme sits a 10-minute cycle from Temple Meads and close to Metrobus links.<\/p>\n

The project has been supported by a \u00a32.4m Brownfield Land Release Fund grant through the government\u2019s One Public Estate programme.<\/p>\n

First homes are scheduled to complete from spring 2027.<\/p>\n
