YTL Developments has now submitted a planning application for a landmark Grade-A office building that will be the gateway to Brabazon, located next to the new train station. The new eight-storey office development will be the first permanent commercial space at Brabazon and marks the first step in delivering a business address like no other in North Bristol. Designed by AHR Architects, it will deliver the Grade-A office specification businesses need, as well as the amenities and connectivity that their high-skilled staff expect. At a time when there is a shortage of new commercial buildings in Bristol city centre, Brabazon will now offer the same quality space occupiers would expect from a prime urban location. The new offices will meet modern sustainability standards, targeting EPC A rating, BREEAM Outstanding and NABERS 5* ratings as well as WiredScore Platinum certification for connectivity. But unlike Aztec West or other dedicated business parks, Brabazon is also a more accessible location. Not only is the new building located immediately above the new station, but it will also actually house a ticket office, making it just the third in the region after Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway to be staffed. “The start of construction on the new station at Brabazon earlier this month is a game changer for North Bristol. “At a time when Central Bristol is struggling to meet demand for top-quality commercial space, now city centre occupiers have a genuine and sustainable alternative. Brabazon will offer all the advantages of the city centre and amazing road access to the M4 and M5, but none of the compromises of traditional uninspiring, car-dependent business parks. “The first new Grade A office space at Brabazon is a landmark moment for the new neighbourhood. Located next to the new train station at Brabazon, it will provide the area’s world-leading commercial cluster with the space, connectivity and opportunity to grow and expand.” The new train station will connect to Bristol Temple Meads in less than 15 minutes, providing easy access to the Ministry of Defence at Filton Abbey Wood and to Bristol University’s new Temple Quarter Campus. In addition, the thousands of staff working at engineering, aviation and technology companies like Airbus, GKN and Rolls-Royce, will now be able to take the train to work from Lawrence Hill, Stapleton Road and Ashley Down. The University of the West of England’s Frenchay Campus is also less than 1.5 miles away from the new station and office, while the M4 MetroBus will connect directly to Bristol Parkway station. Alongside the connectivity, it will also offer employees all the amenities that they would expect of city centre office space. There will be a retail dining space on the ground floor for food, spilling out onto the public square that will be the gateway to the new neighbourhood. 107 cycle spaces and shower facilities will encourage office staff to walk, run or cycle to work. And with the new Arena coming soon, the offices at Brabazon will offer all the lifestyle advantages needed to attract and retain high-skilled talent. This new landmark will comprise 123,330 square feet of Grade A office space in total, located in the heart of North Bristol’s world-leading commercial cluster, where approximately 48,000 people work in high-value manufacturing, life science and technology industries. Up to 800 people are expected to work in the building when it is fully occupied. Typical floor plates measure 13,190 sq ft of net useable space, with the ability to subdivide space into a number of different combinations. YTL Developments has submitted a planning application for the new office building at Brabazon this week. Subject to planning approval, construction would be undertaken by the YTL Group’s in-house contracting firm – YTL Construction UK – and is expected to complete in early 2028. The new commercial buildings are part of YTL Developments’s approved masterplan for Brabazon, which includes over 6,500 new homes, 2,000 beds of student accommodation, and 86 acres of public squares, parks and playing fields. The 3.7m square feet of commercial space will support up to 30,000 jobs, while over £100 million is being invested in sustainable transport infrastructure. Brabazon is already established as one of the best new residential addresses in the West Country. The largest dedicated student accommodation project in the region is currently under construction, while the innovative Boxworks container-based workspace studios are already incubating a new generation of early-stage and start-up businesses. The announcement of the first permanent commercial space at Brabazon is the next stage in the evolution of this award-winning new city district into a thriving new neighbourhood for Bristol. Adam Spall at AHR Architects said: “This new first office building at Brabazon makes a bold statement. It sets a new standard for sustainable design that aligns with the environmental goals of a modern business. The thoughtfully designed ground floor seamlessly blends the private office space with the station entrance, publicly accessible cafe and vibrant public square. “Offering cutting edge amenities, rail connectivity and an inspiring workplace environment, the new building will provide businesses with everything they need to attract the next generation of talent to Bristol.” Visit Brabazon.co.uk to learn more about Station Office building.

When completed early next year, Bellerive House will provide attractive, well-connected and comfortable homes, conveniently located in the heart of Docklands, just a few minutes from Central London and City Airport.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
HelloParks has commenced construction of two new sustainable industrial and logistics facilities in Fót and Páty (North and West of Budapest), adding over 88,000 sqm of space to its domestic development pipeline. Upon completion, the company will operate a total of 11 buildings across its megapark network by the end of the year. These developments directly respond to robust market demand, with warehouses at both sites operating near full capacity. The new buildings are designed to meet the highest sustainability standards—complying with the Outstanding rating criteria under the BREEAM New Construction certification and the stringent requirements of the EU Taxonomy. Construction has begun on the fourth facility (PT5) in the Páty HelloParks Budapest West megapark. The structural works are complete, and concrete flooring will soon be poured. Completion is scheduled for Q3 2025. Once finished, this 42,000 sqm BigBox warehouse will bring the total completed industrial space in Páty to 184,000 sqm. Existing facilities in the park currently enjoy an 84% occupancy rate, with tenants including prominent global logistics and transportation providers such as dm-Drogerie Markt, DHL, Gebrüder Weiss, and Transdanubia. Strategically situated in the western agglomeration of Budapest, the 87-hectare HelloParks Páty lies adjacent to the M1 motorway and close to the M0 and M7 junctions—making it an ideal hub for local, national, and international logistics. Meanwhile, work is advancing on the FT3 warehouse in Fót, HelloParks North, with groundwork underway and structural columns to be installed shortly. This 46,000 sqm BigBox facility is scheduled for completion by the end of the year, expanding the Fót megapark to four buildings totalling 164,000 sqm. Existing warehouses here are almost entirely let, with notable tenants including BYD and Samsung. Located in the northern vicinity of Budapest, adjacent to the M0 and M3 motorways, the 57-hectare Fót HelloParks Budapest North offers capacity for up to 254,000 sqm of industrial space. Notably, every building in the park has received EU Taxonomy certification—a unique achievement in Hungary. With the addition of these two new facilities, HelloParks will operate 11 buildings across its megaparks by year-end, spanning North, West, South and East of Budapest (Fót, Páty, Alsónémedi, and Maglód). All properties are constructed in alignment with BREEAM sustainability standards and EU Taxonomy criteria, offering tenants environmentally responsible, energy-efficient, and future-proof spaces. Only 3% of buildings worldwide achieve BREEAM’s Outstanding rating. HelloParks is the sole developer in Hungary that consistently meets these rigorous benchmarks. Five of its buildings have received the Outstanding certificate, with two more achieving the Excellent rating. As regulatory pressures increase, sustainable facilities are increasingly crucial to occupiers in meeting their ESG objectives. “Our development pace is dictated by market demand. Occupancy rates clearly show the continued strong interest in well-located, modern industrial properties. We aim to respond swiftly and strategically while ensuring that every new building meets the strictest sustainability standards. It’s not enough to simply add capacity – we’re committed to creating spaces where our partners can operate long-term under optimal, energy-efficient conditions,” said Rudolf Nemes, CEO of HelloParks. Both warehouses under construction will feature heat pump-based heating and cooling systems and rooftop solar panels that can reduce office areas’ primary grid energy consumption to zero. Each facility will be equipped with advanced building management systems (BMS) that optimise heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and electrical and water infrastructure capable of detecting and preventing leaks. Tenants will also benefit from HelloParks’ proprietary mobile application, which integrates with the parks’ building control systems, enabling remote management of rented areas. Users can adjust heating, ventilation, and lighting settings, monitor utility usage, and access detailed technical data for their leased units.

The company has also just opened a fully refitted hotel in Bromley town centre, also formerly an Ibis, following an exchange of contracts in January. Steve Bennett, Chief Property and Development Officer at Travelodge, commented:“The acquisition of these hotels marks another positive step in our UK development strategy, as we seek to grow and optimise our estate while enhancing value through a balanced mix of freehold and leasehold properties. There are still many towns and cities across the UK and Spain where we can open a new Travelodge to provide high-quality, great-value accommodation.” He added:“Rebranding and refitting properties is a key element of our growth plan. With over 300 more hotels on our UK target list, we remain actively on the lookout for the right opportunities.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

Work has started on a major new public transport hub for Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, Wales, a key part of the town’s regeneration. Designed by multidisciplinary design practice BDP and built by Kier for Pembrokeshire County Council, the Haverfordwest Public Transport Interchange (HPTI) includes the construction of a modern bus station and multi-storey car park, providing a new interchange for buses and coaches, with upgraded passenger facilities. Sustainable features include electric vehicle charging facilities and an array of solar panels on the roof, which will supply the vast majority of the building’s energy usage and help Pembrokeshire County Council meet its commitment to be net zero carbon by 2030. The scheme will include 280 parking spaces, seven bus bays, public toilets and accessible changing facilities for people with disabilities. A traditional groundbreaking event marked the start of work on site. Architects, landscape architects and civil and structural engineers from multidisciplinary design practice BDP designed the transport interchange. Matthew Mayes, architect director at BDP, said: “This transformative regeneration project will enhance connectivity and accessibility for the local community, providing seamless links between bus, taxi, and cycling facilities while improving connections to the riverside, shopping centre, and railway station. “Our design features striking aluminium fins that wrap around the building, creating a modern and dynamic identity, while stone cladding at ground level reflects the town’s historic character. A new public square, enriched with greenery and ample seating, offers a welcoming space for people to relax and engage with their surroundings. “Transport hubs like this are key to the future of urban mobility, encouraging more people to adopt sustainable travel choices that contribute to healthier, more connected communities.” This is a topic explored in BDP’s The Good City initiative, which aims to address some of the most pressing urban challenges by bringing together experts from across the world. Ian Rees, regional director at Kier Construction Western & Wales, said: “We have been on site for a number of months now undertaking essential enabling works, this ground breaking ceremony is an important milestone as we progress into the construction phase of this vitally important transport hub. “This transport interchange for Pembrokeshire County Council will really begin to take shape over the coming weeks and months and will ultimately deliver a much-needed, modern transport hub for the local community, improving connectivity and accessibility for residents and visitors alike.” Cllr Paul Miller, Deputy Leader of Pembrokeshire County Council, said: “It’s great to see work starting on this new transport interchange, which is an important part of the wider Haverfordwest Masterplan. It’s designed to make it easy and convenient to visit Haverfordwest town centre which is a key part of our efforts to regenerate the town. “I think we can all agree the previous multi-story car park had reached the end of its useful life. “Once we’ve completed this project, the town centre will be easily accessible both by bus and of course by car with the car park element of the project benefiting from wider spaces, EV Charging, single tap exit and payment and of course a much nicer, lighter and safer environment for users.” Built on the site of a demolished multi-storey car park and bus station, HPTI will form part of the South West Wales Metro project, which aims to better integrate sustainable modes of transport and complements the wider regeneration work in Haverfordwest. The design of HPTI is being funded from the Welsh Government’s Local Transport Fund. Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals

New data reveals that the industry’s biggest challenges are budget constraints, under-staffing, and barriers to technology adoption According to a recent survey, improving compliance and safety continues to be the number one priority for facilities management professionals. However, 14% of respondents expressed uncertainty about meeting building maintenance compliance standards, while only 23% plan to increase their investment in compliance and safety measures. SFG20, the industry standard for building maintenance, surveyed 190 professionals from various roles across the built environment, construction and real estate to assess challenges and priorities regarding facility management. The survey reveals that while the industry faces significant pressure, professionals are focused on innovation and improvement, with clear priorities and strategies for 2025. Compliance and safety as top priority The survey reveals that improving compliance and safety remains the top priority for facilities management professionals. A significant 77% of respondents reported compliance to be at least a moderate challenge, reflecting the ongoing issue of meeting complex regulatory requirements. Budget constraints and cost reduction Budget constraints are currently the biggest challenge in the industry, as reported by 75% of respondents. At the same time, reducing operational costs is the second biggest priority for FM professionals. Rising energy costs, inflation, and supply chain disruptions all make it increasingly difficult to deliver quality and cost-efficient services within tight budgets. As organisations strive to meet compliance demands and implement essential safety measures, 40% report a budget decrease over the past year, with 13% citing a significant reduction. 69% of facilities management professionals have the same or less budget than the previous year. Meanwhile, staffing shortages are widening the talent gap in facilities management, with 80% of professionals reporting their facility management teams are understaffed, and 24% stating they are significantly understaffed. Technology adoption Digital transformation has become a core focus within the FM industry, as organisations seek to lever technology to improve efficiency, reduce operational costs, and enhance compliance. 53% of respondents rated digital transformation as a ‘highly important’ strategic priority for their organisation. However, high costs remain a major obstacle to technology adoption in facilities management, with 33% stating it as their main barrier. Many facility management teams work under tight budget constraints, making large-scale investment in digital advancements a struggle. Other challenges revealed were: integration with existing systems (19%), a lack of internal expertise (16%), and a resistance to change within the organisation (17%). Kirsty Cogan, Managing Director at SFG20, says: “As the facilities management industry evolves, improving the quality of asset data, achieving compliance, and controlling costs will be the key priorities in 2025. The survey findings highlight the significant pressures faced by professionals in the sector but also show how they are driving change and innovation to address these challenges. “It’s encouraging to see the industry increasingly prioritising technology as a vital tool for achieving compliance and reducing operating costs. To overcome the significant challenges facing the sector, technology must play a central role. Recognising this, SFG20 are incorporating technologies such as AI search and asset mapping into our software and developing API integrations to assist industry with FM systems connectivity. A great way to start is to build a technology roadmap that is aligned to your organisation’s objectives” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
