NI construction firm, McLaughlin & Harvey has reached a key milestone at The Old Brewery project in Bristol with 'topping out' being achieved.

As one of the largest affordable housing developments, the scheme includes 107 new affordable apartments. The apartments will be a combination of one, two and three-bedroom homes with 98 of them available for shared ownership and nine for social rent.

Regeneration works at The Old Brewery include the adaptation of some of the original brewery buildings to retain the industrial heritage of the site. Within the brewery seven commercial spaces are being created to offer new services to the local community including food and drink outlets, offices and creative spaces.

Sean Finch, Senior Project Manager at McLaughlin & Harvey said: "We are delighted to have reached this important milestone at our The Old Brewery project. In the coming weeks, we look forward to progressing the internal fit-out works, as well as the brickwork and balconies which are beginning to taking shape and will look impressive when completed."

Councillor Tom Renhard, Cabinet Member for Housing Delivery and Homelessness from Bristol City Council said: "Building homes is about creating neighbourhoods that meet the diverse needs of our communities and make use of unused brownfield land, so it’s great to see the results of another high-quality 100% affordable regeneration that’ll deliver much needed housing in Bristol. The new homes in Southville ward look great and will add to over 12,500 homes built since 2016, as we continue to tackle Bristol’s housing crisis head on."
