Soapworks comprises 165,000 sq ft of existing buildings within a 2.25 acre site and is located on the edge of Bristol City Centre. First Base have acquired this landmark site to create a mix of modern workspace, homes, an apart-hotel, cafes and restaurants. First Base’s vision is to revitalise the area, working closely with Bristol City Council and architects, Woods Bagot, to deliver a vibrant new district that will deliver much needed new homes, jobs for local people and useable public spaces. Our vision for Soapworks was shortlisted for the Pineapple for Future Place.
