Bristol Centre Square in Downtown
Centre Square is located on the old Bristol Centre Mall site in the heart of Downtown Bristol. The redevelopment area is bordered by North Main Street, Riverside Avenue, Main Street, and the rail line.
The City of Bristol is excited to partner with developers and business owners on the development of Centre Square in the heart of downtown Bristol. Centre Square is a 15-acre development site that hosts a 60,000 square-foot medical office facility employing hundreds of medical professionals while drawing scores of patients to downtown Bristol. The City is currently working on additional development opportunities for the site.
A Master Plan for Centre Square was developed in 2017 in order to create a redevelopment plan that connects to, and integrates well with, the existing Downtown. The goal is to ensure a cohesive, vibrant, and pedestrian-friendly Downtown.
