Construction company Kier has completed the redevelopment of Crescent at Temple Quay in Bristol, delivering a modern, sustainability-focused workspace on behalf of investment and development firm CEG.

The transformation includes a striking new two-storey façade, a rooftop extension, and three private roof terraces—one of which offers panoramic views across Temple Gardens from the fifth floor. The 100,000 sq ft building has already secured its first major tenant, with energy supplier OVO relocating its UK headquarters to occupy 22,894 sq ft, including the entire fifth floor and a suite on the fourth.

Crescent now features the largest private garden in Bristol city centre, a secure, weatherproof cycle park with space for 164 bikes and repair docking, and a wellbeing and fitness studio complete with leisure-style changing rooms.

The redevelopment targets BREEAM Excellent and EPC A, with ambitions to achieve Net Zero Carbon in operation. By retaining the building’s original structure, the scheme has reduced upfront embodied carbon by 45% compared to a new build. The installation of best-in-class energy-efficient systems further supports the development’s strong sustainability credentials.

CEG has appointed Bath-based fit-out specialists Interaction to deliver high-quality, move-in-ready workspace alongside traditional office suites. Occupiers will have the choice of fully fitted spaces or customisable suites to suit their needs.

Interaction’s Business Director, Hannah Eardley, said: "We are thrilled to collaborate with CEG on such a transformative project. The design balances sustainability with a deep respect for the building’s heritage, incorporating nods to Bristol’s rich manufacturing history such as the original fabric racks and pottery. By reimagining communal areas with thoughtful, flexible design, we’re creating a space that really works for its occupiers, offering something for everyone. This collaboration is a fantastic opportunity to deliver not just a workplace, but a destination where community and sustainability are at the heart of the experience."

Paul Richardson, Investment Manager at CEG, added: "Crescent sits in a prime location on Temple Back. This is a first-class redevelopment and Interaction’s interior design will deliver a contemporary and healthy place to work, supported by amenities including a ribbon business lounge, Temple Grind café, well-being and fitness studio."

The building offers floor plates of up to 18,000 sq ft and can accommodate businesses with space needs from 1,600 sq ft and upwards. Carter Jonas and Savills have been appointed as agents to launch the newly redeveloped Crescent to the market.
