Melburg and Winvic Construction, the UK-focused multidisciplinary main contractor and civil engineering company announce the acquisition of Spectrum, a 130,000 sq ft office building located in Bristol city centre.

The landmark transaction marks the first since forming of a strategic partnership between Melburg and Winvic. The collaboration underscores the duo’s commitment to identifying and repositioning value-add opportunities across the UK with Winvic supporting delivery of these projects.

Originally constructed in 1984, the building is located on Bond Street, directly opposite Bristol’s Broadmead Regeneration and close to Melburg’s 360 Bristol— a former office repositioning now being transformed into the city’s first 399-bed eco-PBSA scheme, currently being delivered by Winvic as lead contractor.  

Oaknorth – the digital bank for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs – provided a senior debt facility to the partnership. Savills acted for the purchaser, Cushman & Wakefield acted on behalf of the joint LPA/ Fixed Charge Receivers. Keystone Law and Freedman + Hilmi provided legal services

Jack Burgess, Chief Executive of Melburg said: “With OakNorth’s support, we’re pleased to formalise this partnership with Winvic given our successful collaboration on 360 Bristol, securing a Gateway 2 approval in record time. This acquisition reflects our confidence in Winvic’s delivery expertise, a joint commitment to pioneering ultra-low carbon development, and a shared belief in Bristol’s continued renaissance” 

Mark Jones, Managing Director – Multiroom at Winvic commented: “We’re proud to be collaborating with Melburg again. Our early engagement in the process has enabled us to work as a strategic partner, aligning design, buildability, and cost management from the outset. In today’s evolving regulatory environment, particularly under the Building Safety Act, early contractor involvement is more important than ever. By combining our technical expertise with Melburg’s dynamic, value-driven approach, we are well positioned to deliver a best-in-class scheme that responds to both legislative demands and market expectations.”

Lucas Anglin, Director of Debt Finance at OakNorth added: “We’re delighted to support Melburg and Winvic on this landmark acquisition in Bristol. The partnership between two such highly capable and forward-thinking sponsors aligns perfectly with OakNorth’s commitment to backing ambitious, sustainable projects that deliver long-term value. With their proven track record at 360 Bristol and a shared vision for regeneration, we’re confident this scheme will play a meaningful role in the city’s next chapter.”
