The Paragon became a benchmark for high quality, sustainable office development in Bristol when it was completed in 2011.

Based on Victoria Street, just opposite Finzels Reach, it was one of only a handful in the area to be awarded an energy performance certificate with a high grade B rating. The building was designed to BREEAM Excellent environmental standards, the highest rating when the building was constructed. With spacious floors and plenty of natural daylight thanks to its full height atrium, this speculative scheme achieved market leading rents to a variety of blue chip occupiers.

Cubex, backed by the Palmer Capital Development Fund II, successfully marketed, let and sold the building to INVESCO for £26.5 million. The Paragon’s current occupiers are Ernst & Young, Marsh & McLennan, Thrings, Brewin Dolphin, Tesco, Friska and Pret A Manger.
