Village Campaign For Heart Of City Centre

May 26, 2009 - PRLog -- A new marketing initiative has been launched to bring a sense of community to Bristol’s newest and arguably most sought-after place to live.

Crest Nicholson’s Harbourside development is now being promoted nationally as “The Village” and heralds a new stage in the history of the area. Historically known as Canons Marsh it has been transformed into a thriving and popular place to live, work and enjoy leisure time.

More and more people have moved to Harbourside deciding the selection of one and two bedroom apartments are the best on offer in Bristol creating the sense of community by those who have made the unique waterside location their new home.

Vicky Dudbridge, from selling agent King Sturge said: “Our intention has always been that Harbourside is not just a collection of buildings but is place where people would feel at home and as the development has taken shape so to has the community that now lives here.

“Attracted by a combination of city centre living and a relaxing waterside location the selection of apartments that overlook the historic Floating Harbour have proved popular.

“Despite the difficult economy over the last year we have some thriving restaurants, a gym, casino and coffee bars on the doorstep and the headquarters of Hargreaves Lansdown is taking shape.”

To help those considering moving into the area a brand new, two-bedroom show apartment has been opened.

Located in the Halyard phase of The Crescent, the spacious two-bedroom show apartment will showcase why the development has proved so popular to discerning house hunters wanting to live next to the water on Bristol’s historic floating harbour.

Including a fully appointed en-suite with luxurious walk in shower and separate bath to the master bedroom, large open plan living room and kitchen as well as separate bathroom to serve the second bedroom, it will give house hunters an opportunity to find out what life is like in the heart of the city.

In addition the apartment benefits from a south facing balcony which boasts stunning views out over the harbour towards Brunel’s ss Great Britain.

Vicky added: “We are in an enviable location and people realise that this is one of the very last chances to live right on the water in the heart of the city, with all the amenities on the doorstep.”
