baltic wharf

Baltic Wharf development   

Goram Homes in partnership with Hill, will deliver over 150 new homes at Baltic Wharf of which 40% will be affordable housing.  Baltic Wharf is located at the western end of floating harbour, locally known as ‘Spike Island’ on the narrow strip of land neighbouring Bristol’s historic Underfall Yard.     

With wide open views across Bristol’s famous skyline this development, made up of one, two and three bed flats, will offer the opportunity for a range of household sizes to live in the city centre. The central landscape area will be a mix of public and private space and will help to create a new neighbourhood and vibrant destination in the floating harbour. 

The scheme will deliver commercial space and leisure facilities that will provide a new focal point to the western end of the floating harbour. Its green credentials will be aided by high thermal efficiency in construction and solar panels on the roof of some blocks. The affordable housing, acquired by Bristol City Council, will offer new council housing in a prestigious location with 77% of it being available for social rent providing truly affordable homes. 23% of the affordable housing will be shared ownership which will be available for first time buyers.

Who are Goram Homes?   

Goram Homes was founded in 2018 by Bristol City Council to increase the provision of new homes in the city and to meet affordable housing requirements without compromising on build quality.    

With an ambition to develop 2,500 homes in Bristol by 2025, they work in partnership with the private sector to deliver financial returns to Bristol City Council. The Council will then re- invest in Goram Homes to build even more homes for the people of Bristol.     

Goram Homes’ priority is to deliver high quality schemes embracing design which is sustainable - environmentally, socially and economically. Their developments will always meet, at a minimum, Bristol’s development policy requirements, particularly around the provision of affordable housing, space standards and sustainability.     

Goram Homes are committed to investing in Bristol by working in partnership, creating opportunities for apprenticeships and work experience and using local labour and local supply chain partners wherever possible.
