Summary:
- Unite Students and the University of Bristol are finalising Avon Point, a £75 million energy-efficient student residence near Bristol Temple Meads station, offering self-catered en-suite rooms from £234.71 to £299.74 per week and featuring amenities such as a gym, rooftop terrace, and solar panels.
- Avon Point forms part of the broader Bristol Temple Quarter regeneration, a government-backed £95 million initiative transforming 135 hectares of brownfield land into mixed-use communities with up to 10,000 homes, a new university campus for 4,600 students, and 22,000 jobs over 25 years.
- The regeneration faces challenges including flood risk concerns raised by the Environment Agency and local opposition over private sector influence and delays in delivering key infrastructure like the Oasis Academy secondary school, which remains on a temporary site amid growing demand.
