Excerpt from Wikipedia
Castlemead is the tallest high-rise building in Bristol, England. Designed by A.J. Hines and started in 1973, work was halted by a recession in the property market and it was completed in 1981. The building has a roof height of 80 metres or 262 feet and consists of 18 floors, 17 of which are offices. Castlemead is owned by Regional Properties Ltd and managed by Knight Frank LLP.
The building is a short walk from Castle Park and the River Avon, and the Cabot Circus and Broadmead shopping areas.
Companies contained within the building include: Beaufort Securities Stockbrokers, IBEX Global UK, Bluefin, Equiniti, Bristol IT Company and MWB Business Exchange. The building is also used by organisations including Lloyds TSB, and the City of Bristol College for holding exams.
