Bristol's first build-to-rent development has been launched in the city.
The purpose-built accommodation at Finzels Reach includes 194 apartments across two buildings - Hawkins Lane and George’s Wharf.
Rental home provider Grainger owns the properties , which were built by developers Cubex.
Hawkins & George includes furnished and unfurnished studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments.
Rent includes access to an on-site gym, super-fast wifi, a residents’ lounge, roof terrace with views over Bristol, bike storage and co-working space. The flats are also pet-friendly.
Grainger will manage Hawkins & George directly, providing residents with services including a concierge and a dedicated on-site management team.
Helen Gordon, Grainger chief executive, said: “We’re delighted to launch Hawkins & George in Bristol – the first development of its kind in the city.
“Our aim at Grainger is to redefine the rental experience, and in Bristol we will do this by creating an exciting new community at Finzels Reach that combines the flexibility of renting with professional services to give our residents the best rental experience possible.
“This launch marks another key milestone in Grainger’s growth plans.”
Gavin Bridge, executive director at Cubex, the developer behind Finzels Reach and Hawkins & George, added: “Hawkins & George is one of the final pieces of the jigsaw in the creation of the first phase of Finzels Reach.
"We’ve paid careful attention to developing a mixed and balanced community of homes, workspace and social spaces.
“Hawkins & George provides much-needed homes through the innovative build-to-rent model, where residents essentially rent the building rather than an apartment, benefiting from an emphasis on high-quality communal spaces and customer service.”
Rental prices start from £895 per month.
A number of national organisations have also recently announced their relocation to Finzels Reach including Channel 4 and Historic England.
