Action
We’re delighted to have played a key role in securing The Climbing Hangar as the latest occupier of a 25,000 sq ft former Wilko store on Union Street, Bristol. Acting on behalf of AEW, we’ve helped bring an exciting, experience-led operator to the heart of the city, adding a bold new chapter to Bristol’s evolving leisure landscape.
With state-of-the-art bouldering facilities, expert coaching, and a vibrant social space, The Climbing Hangar will be a major asset to the city; drawing visitors, boosting footfall, and energising the local area.
This deal is a strong example of how large, vacant retail units can be reimagined into engaging, community-focused destinations. By introducing a highly active and social use to Union Street, the project will play a key part in the wider regeneration of Bristol’s city centre.
Set to open in the summer of 2025, The Climbing Hangar marks an exciting step forward—and we look forward to seeing it come to life.
