YTL’s Brabazon to convert 450-acre Bristol airfield into mixed development
YTL has poured some 1.25 billion pounds (about RM7 billion) into the project, and is set to spend a further two billion pounds (about RM11 billion).
A 450-acre former airfield in Bristol, England, known as Filton Airfield, is set to be transformed into a mixed-use development by YTL Corporation Bhd. The 450-acre site, named the Brabazon project, will incorporate thousands of homes, schools, office buildings, an arena, and three hotels. The redevelopment project aims to incorporate the site's rich aerospace history, including the Brabazon airliner and the UK Concorde, by converting historic hangars into a 20,000-seat arena.
YTL Corp Bhd plans to quadruple the current 6,500 homes to 25,000, with new houses featuring double-height ceilings and apartments priced between 455,000 and 675,000 pounds. The development will also include a 15-acre park with a three-acre lake and extensive greenery. YTL Corp Bhd has invested 1.25 billion pounds in the project, with an additional 2 billion pounds planned for further development.
The project has received government support as a new town and will benefit from improved public transport links, including a new rail station.
