Alliance House, in Baldwin Street, Bristol, comprises shops at street level and empty office above.
Sweet and Acorn will turn the upper three floors into 44 studio bedsits and one-bedroom apartments, while retaining retail at the ground and basement floors.
Robin Squire, regional managing director of Acorn鈥檚 Bristol office, commented: "Sweet Construct鈥檚 expertise in this sector is clear and we look forward to working with them to deliver this scheme, breathing new life into the historic building, creating apartments with a high-quality specification and modern design, well suited for first time buyers looking to get their foot on the property ladder, and for investors.鈥�
Martyn Osborne, joint managing director of Sweet Construct, added: 鈥淲e are delighted to have been appointed to this scheme, especially in such a prominent city-centre location. Our experience in the sector means we are extremely well-placed to deliver and we hope it will be the start of an ongoing and mutually successful relationship with Acorn Property Group.鈥�
Construction for the project has already started and is expected to be completed at the end of 2021.
