66 Queen Square development reaches significant milestone

The 66 Queen Square, Bristol, development has reached another significant milestone, with the removal of the tower crane.

Developed and funded under the Workplaces by Skanska banner, 66 Queen Square is making rapid headway. The removal of the tower crane demonstrates the progress being made on site, with all construction work on programme for completion in September 2015.

The development will provide 61,000 sqft (5,667m²) of Grade A office space in the centre of Bristol city, 85 per cent of which has been pre-let to KPMG on a 15-year lease.

The newly constructed office building incorporates the restoration of a Georgian terrace, offering occupiers flexible, modern office accommodation in a historical setting.

Liam Coughlan, Development Manager, said: “The removal of the tower crane provides visual confirmation that the development is making good progress and further demonstrates Skanska’s ability to utilise our diverse strengths to develop and construct complex, high-profile projects.

“The collaborative approach of the Skanska team has been excellent in reaching this milestone, while ensuring that we meet the needs of KPMG and other future occupiers.”
