With options available from 30,000 sq ft to 300,000 sq ft of thoughtfully designed space, Assembly is ideally situated in the city’s Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone, one of the largest and most exciting urban regeneration schemes in the UK. Designed and conceived as a development combining unique character with a wealth of amenities, Assembly is a new destination for Bristol.
