CHARITABLE CAUSES “The Good Conrad Finzel” as he was known, was reputed to give at least £10,000 a year to Muller’s Orphanage in Bristol. To continue the spirit of charitable giving, the Finzels Reach team has tied up with a local charity in Bristol. Last winter, contemporary mugs that explored the lifestyle themes of the scheme were available to buy in all St Peter’s Hospice shops across the city. The mugs were donated to the Hospice in support of the charity and were sold at £1 each to raise the important funds needed to continue their invaluable work in the city.

BRIDGING THE GAP |

Following the completion of phase 1 this year and during the start of phase 2, the Finzels Reach team are putting together some exciting creative hoardings to enhance the public areas around the site. These hoardings will examine everything that has happened on site from Bristol’s very first bridge built around 1010. This wooden bridge was used as a meeting place where a village called Brycgstow soon flourished. The hoardings follow the progress and development of the Finzels Reach site through to the present day, and the contemporary Mobius Bridge planned for 2012. |
The Mobius Bridge will link the development to Castle Park, breathing new life into Bristol and placing Finzels Reach itself at the heart of everything happening in this great city. HDG Mansur has also commissioned artist Jennie Savage to create an art project on the history of the site, which will tie-in with these hoardings placed around the development. |

What the press are saying about Finzels Reach… “The Finzels Reach project...features light filled water side dwellings. The city-centre development comprises 400 one to three-bedroom flats… as well as restaurants, office space and a fitness centre.” “Finzels Reach sends the right message about Bristol’s position as the economy moves forward.” “A cultural metamorphosis for the quainter side of town.” “Perfect timing? HDG Mansur’s move to start work on its Bridgewater House project will provide much needed supply.” “HDG Reaches out to Bristol Market… The developer behind Finzels Reach, the 1m sq. ft. mixed-use scheme in Bristol, believes a dearth of new-build stock could help establish this area as a new ‘city Quarter.’” “One of Bristol city centre’s most high-profile schemes.” |
