The stalled redevelopment of over 600 homes at Bristol Harbourside will get moving again following fresh funding from the Homes and Communities Agency.

The HCA has invested 拢12m, the biggest investment yet under its Get Britain 星空传媒 programme, to get the construction of the first 200 homes underway.

The plans for the development also include a new hotel and 250,000ft² of retail and office space.  

Stuart Hatton, managing director of Umberslade, said: 鈥淭his investment has played a significant part in helping unlock the continued development of what has been a huge success story for Bristol over the last 25 years.

鈥淲e see this as a vote of confidence in what we are working to achieve and we鈥檙e focused on ensuring that this investment makes a positive difference to the city centre.鈥�

Bristol mayor George Ferguson also praised the scheme and said he was hoping to secure more funding under the Get Britain 星空传媒 programme for other projects in the city.

The agreement will see developer Umberslade start work on the project in March.
