Striking new visuals revealed of Wapping Wharf's CARGO Work as construction gets underway New visuals have been revealed as works get underway to create CARGO Work, a stand-out, unique Grade A workspace that will form part of Wapping Wharf's much-loved community.
Preparatory works have already taken place on site with main construction works on the shell and core of the building now underway. The creation of the steel frame will follow in September.
With space for up to 230 people across 20,270 sq ft of space, the striking new CARGO Work building will be set within the stone walls of the disused J S Fry warehouse, which were formerly part of the old Bristol Gaol. Wapping Wharf is already home to an array of independent shops, restaurants, cafes and lifestyle businesses on Bristol's iconic harbourside, with this established and growing neighbourhood widely recognised for its eclectic food scene.
Stuart Hatton, managing director at Umberslade, the developer of Wapping Wharf, including CARGO Work, said: "We are thrilled that works are now progressing on CARGO Work, a completely unique concept that will create a stand-out working environment like no other, right in the heart of a thriving neighbourhood on Bristol's famous Floating Harbour. With its balconies and terraces offering impressive views and a modern, versatile working environment, CARGO Work has plenty to offer employers looking to prioritise well-being and flexibility by providing an attractive, inspiring, one-of-a-kind workspace. We are very excited about embarking on this exciting next chapter in the story of Wapping Wharf."
Offering stylish, contemporary new offices, CARGO Work will reflect its industrial dockside setting with its design in keeping with CARGO, the highly popular shipping container concept that houses many of the independent businesses at Wapping Wharf. Sustainably clad in upcycled shipping container components, CARGO Work will feature a glazed courtyard canopy, balconies and terraces to all floors with views across southern Bristol.

CARGO Work has been designed to be highly sustainable and low in energy use. Brise soleils prevent heat gain inside the building and photovoltaic roof panels take advantage of the building's sunny position to create solar energy.
