Shipping container office park for Bristol
Twenty shipping containers will be craned into what is currently a car park next to Temple Meads to create Bristol’s trendiest new office development.
The same idea has been successful at Boxpark at Shoreditch in east London which includes a number of pop-up shops.
Boxworks, part of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone, will provide additional capacity for the creative, digital and high-tech industries based in the SETsquared Centre within the Engine Shed.
Bristol’s first container-based workspaces will open for business in August and run for up to two-and-a-half years.
Engine Shed director Nick Sturge said: “We have been overwhelmed with growth of the enterprises inside Engine Shed and with interest from other businesses and projects wanting to be a part of the community here. Boxworks will be an exciting addition – and feature – of this community.”
