First tenant moves into new Cargo Work office building
A global fintech company has become the first occupier at Wapping Wharf’s Cargo Work.
The financial technology company, who do not wish to be named, have taken the whole of the 4,435 sq ft top floor of the new office building.
The finishing touches have now been completed at the site, which provides 20,270 sq ft office space.
The building includes a courtyard canopy and ‘shipping container’ metal cladding, with balconies and terraces on all four floors and views over south Bristol.

The office is is housed within the stone walls of the former J S Fry warehouse, which has now been fully restored and exposed following the removal of the roadside walls that previously ran along Wapping Road.
Set on the corner of Wapping Road and Cumberland Road, near the Louisiana Pub, the site stood empty for many years.
It has been developed by Umberslade, the same developers behind the wider Wapping Wharf site.

Stuart Hatton, managing director of Umberslade, said: “This is a very exciting letting for Cargo Work which underlines the appeal of the neighbourhood we have built at Wapping Wharf and fits perfectly with our creative, entrepreneurial and independent ethos.
“We’re really looking forward to welcoming the team to our community and all it has to offer.”
Property consultants Carter Jonas and Lambourn Commercial are in advanced discussion with a number of companies wishing to take space in Cargo Work.
