St Christopher?s Square Bristol later living in South West England
FORE Partnership and Amicala submit plans for net zero extra care scheme in Bristol
14th of March 2022 – Designed by architects PRP, the scheme will be the first of a new generation of ultra-sustainable later living communities
Ethical investor FORE Partnership and integrated retirement community operator Amicala have submitted plans for an ultra-sustainable later living scheme in Bristol. Operated by Amicala and designed by PRP Architects, St Christopher?s Square will be one of the first net zero communities in the UK. The scheme sits on a five acre site in Westbury Park and will provide 122 homes for seniors as well as a range of community benefits. FORE became a B Corporation in 2020, committing it to pursue purpose alongside profit, and has set an industry-leading target to achieve net zero carbon across its business and portfolio by 2025. St Christopher?s Square will be built to the highest levels of sustainability, designed using low carbon construction techniques and materials. In operation, the development will be net zero carbon and fossil fuel free, generating on-site solar energy through solar PVs and drawing energy from 100% renewable electricity. BREAAM Outstanding is being targeted as well as Platinum WELL and WiredScore ratings.
