Description |
|
Alder King, the
property consultants, published an
online document called AKfocus in the
summer of 2013. In that document
they announced that, "Bristol
City Council has purchased the
landmark office building at 100
Temple Street near Temple Meads in
Bristol from Aviva Investors
Property Trust. The purchase is a
key element of the Council’s plan to
consolidate its occupation across
the city and could save local
taxpayers around £40 million over
the next 25 years. .... The
five-storey property provides
130,000 sq ft of accommodation."
The building was once
known as the London Life Building and,
as you can see, it has also been home to
KPMG. The Bristol Pevsner Guide
says that, "Its staggered masses
achieve a pleasing three-dimensional
quality. Five well-composed
red brick storeys, screened by slim
paired supports of contrasting
aggregate."
