Bath is also entering a new phase of growth through the Bath Riverside Innovation District, Production Quarter, and Bath Quays North.
These will unite academic expertise and industry, create space for collaboration, and strengthen Bath’s role in the regional economy.
Investment showcase
A flagship element of the Bath Riverside Innovation District, Bath Quays North is transforming prime city centre riverside land into modern workspace, R&D, business hotel and civic space, homes and public realm.
Investment proposition:
Pre-let office and innovation space offering routes for institutional capital into hotel and office assets, with long-term mixed-use value creation. The scheme could support an estimated 1,900 high-value roles, targeting EPC A and BREEAM Excellent standards.
The Milsom Quarter programme will regenerate the northern part of the city centre, where Bath & North East Somerset Council is a major landowner and can use its public sector assets to create opportunities for change and lead the redevelopment of the area.
Investment proposition:
A high-profile, culture-led regeneration opportunity anchored by a world-class Fashion Museum, with immediate demand for creative workspace developers at Broad Street Yards, hospitality investors for hotel and food/beverage uses, and residential partners for Cattlemarket.
There will be future opportunities at Manvers Street, South Bank and Green Park, including up to 100,000 square feet of office space.
The Fashion Museum has embarked on its largest ever philanthropic appeal to transform the Old Post Office into a ground-breaking new museum that brings fashion to life for local and global audiences.
Investment proposition:
A publicly backed, de-risked cultural anchor project with clear routes for private capital to capture value from footfall, place uplift and commercial activation in central Bath.
With planning progressing and delivery targeted for 2030, early investors have the opportunity to shape the commercial offer and secure prime positions ahead of value uplift associated with the wider Milsom Quarter transformation.
The Production Quarter brings together Locksbrook, Brassmill and Weston Island to form Bath’s primary location for industrial, manufacturing and R&D activity.
Investment proposition:
Opportunity to deliver modern industrial and manufacturing space in a supply-constrained city, including redevelopment and estate intensification
Scope for phased investment, combining asset repositioning with new development to drive long-term value growth
The Stadium for Bath is a once-in-a-century opportunity to secure the future of professional sport in the city centre. By replacing the temporary stands at The Recreation Ground with a permanent, architecturally sensitive 18,000-capacity stadium, the project will create a year-round destination.
Investment proposition:
Seeking commercial partners for naming rights, hospitality management and conferencing operations. While the project is privately led by Bath Rugby, there are opportunities for social impact funders to support the community hub and educational facilities.
North Keynsham is one of the largest housing-led growth opportunities in Bath & North East Somerset, with capacity for new homes alongside a new local centre, primary school and extensive green infrastructure.
Investment proposition:
North Keynsham offers a policy-backed, large-scale residential opportunity with clear public sector support and strong delivery fundamentals, suited to master developer, joint venture or phased housing delivery partners, alongside infrastructure and long-term capital investment in sustainable, climate-resilient place-making.
Keynsham has been identified as part of the Bristol to Bath corridor where strategic growth could support both new housing and jobs, drawing on its transport links and proximity to existing services.
Investment proposition:
Seeking commercial occupiers and social impact capital, with refurbished flagship units open in Spring 2026 and immediate opportunities for leisure and boutique workspace operators, alongside longer-term growth enabled by new employment land and strong alignment with Bristol and Bath’s sector strengths.
