Development partners Socius and Barings will start works on the Soapworks site this September.

Soapworks will deliver new spaces to live, work and socialise with local benefits, such as opportunities for employment, skills and investment in the community. The new development includes the construction of two new buildings, alongside the restoration of the Grade 2 listed former Gardiner Haskins warehouse, celebrating the site’s industrial heritage. The redevelopment of the site received planning permission from Bristol City Council in April 2021.
