Landmark development for Port Marine

Leading house builder, Persimmon Homes is continuing to invest in the regeneration of Port Marine in Portishead with the launch of a brand new mixed use scheme.

Following the success of its four existing residential developments in Port Marine, Persimmon has announced the imminent creation of a yet to be named dockside scheme. Situated in the centre of the public promenade of Port Marine’s East Quay, the scheme will be a landmark waterfront development. Divided into two buildings the U-shaped building will include a 187m² commercial unit, alongside 140, one, two and three bedroom apartments, 180 parking spaces plus a central landscaped promenade.

“We are delighted to be bringing this new development to Port Marine,” commented David Wild, sales director for Persimmon Homes Severn Valley. “This scheme will create a real focal point on the East Quay with its unique design drawing upon the marine location and including nautical features such as the horizontal white bandings of ocean liners, the maritime flavour of timber and the frivolity of art deco seaside hotels. Alongside this, the scheme will vary in height from three to seven storeys offering residents fantastic elevated views across the water plus the benefit of having the marina and its growing number of amenities quite literally on their doorstep.”

The new development will form part of the 200 acre regeneration of Port Marine which combines superior residential accommodation with commercial enterprise in a truly enviable waterside location. Persimmon’s homes at Port Marine are encompassed within one of the biggest eco-housing schemes in Europe offering families the unique combination of traditional village life with all the convenience of modern housing and design.

Port Marine boasts an excellent array of local amenities from a flagship Waitrose supermarket to a bustling high street and excellent sporting facilities. A popular location for commuters, the town is excellently placed for reaching nearby Bristol and the M5 (J19) just a couple of miles away.

Off plan sales at the new development will begin in summer 2008 with first completions in summer 2009.

Waterside apartments are already available and selling swiftly off plan at Persimmon Homes’ Nautica development in Port Marine where two bedroom apartments are available for around £200,000.
