A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY66 Queen Square is an exceptionally rare opportunity to occupy a new corporate headquarters situated in Bristol’s most prestigious location. Island sites are particularly coveted opportunities as they offer excellent natural light to all floors, while maximising security and prestige for the occupier.
HISTORY OF QUEEN SQUAREQueen Square is the largest Georgian square outside of London and is the finest civic space in Bristol. Originally developed in the early eighteenth century, Queen Square was the first major garden square to be built outside London. It remains one of the largest Georgian squares in Europe and has been awarded a Grade I listed status from English Heritage.
QUEEN SQUARE TODAYFollowing a £5million restoration project undertaken to coincide with the new Millenium, Queen Square today provides a vibrant oasis to all occupiers who work and live in Bristol city centre. Surrounded by waterside restaurants and cafes, Queen Square hosts a range of cultural events which make full use of this outstanding open space, providing one of the finest office locations in the whole of the United Kingdom.

HIGHEST QUALITY DESIGNThe finest location demands excellence in both design and specification.
The external treatment of 66 Queen Square respects the important historical contexts of both Queen Square and King Street, whilst also achieving expansive open floorplates and the highest technical standards currently demanded by corporate occupiers.
The contemporary western elevation facing Thunderbolt Square will be clad in reclaimed bath stone to sensitively complement the listed Georgian terrace that faces south over Queen Square.
The listed terrace has been carefully integrated within this 60,000 ft2 Grade A office scheme to provide sophisticated and elegant meeting room accommodation with south facing views across the square.8

GEORGIAN ELEGANCEThe four principal floors will each feature formal meeting rooms with impressive south-facing views across Queen Square. The Georgian terrace will be extensively refurbished to retain historical ornate plasterwork and joinery, but will also feature full comfort cooling and the appropriate technical specifications for highest quality Grade A office accommodation. This will create some of the most prestigious meeting room accommodation so far seen in the Bristol office market, which may alternatively be configured as directors’ suites.
Immediately outside the formal meeting rooms will be informal meeting or breakout spaces, which in turn will lead onto a dramatic atrium with contemporary glazed link bridges onto the open-plan floorplates. This will provide a seamless transition between old and new and create a stunning architectural centrepiece.

ARCHITECTURAL CENTREPIECESOccupiers and their guests will approach the building across a high quality traffic-free public space, and the impressive double height reception will provide a commanding frontage onto Queen Square. The reception desk will be situated opposite the glazed entrance doors with a waiting area alongside the passenger lifts. Views into the dramatic central atrium will be gained upon entering the passenger lifts, while the lifts will exit on all floors to present expansive south facing views across Queen Square. Fully glazed walling will maximise natural light within the reception area, while the choice of materials will be a sophisticated combination of contemporary finsihes and traditional bath stone.
