Bristol’s distinctive St Vincent’s Works industrial building, described as the city’s very own Disney castle, has gone onto the market for the first time in more than 20 years.

Built when Queen Victoria was still on the throne as the headquarters of Bristol company John Lysaght, the Grade II* listed building is close to Temple Meads railway station and is one of the largely unknown gems of the city.

It has been the home of Bristol wind energy pioneers Garrad Hassan. The firm recently became part of global company DNV GL and is relocating to new, larger premises nearby.

National offices director James Preece from Colliers International, which has recently been appointed to find a new tenant, said: “This is an amazing office building that is configured over two levels and has an area of 7,573 sq ft.

“It is in a great location with the added bonus of exceptional parking. Being right at the heart of the new creative sector what we really need is the Bristol equivalent of The Walt Disney Corporation.

“The building has so many astounding features that we are absolutely confident that there is nothing similar available anywhere in the city or the West Country.”

The property offers the best of both worlds, providing an occupier with an office that has a long history with all of its original features still in place, a modern specification including built-in network cabling throughout, as well as kitchen and shower facilities.

It has parking for 34 cars.  As a further incentive the building lies within the Enterprise Zone with various incentives available to companies relocating to the area.
