Port Marine, Portishead

Port Marine (sometimes branded Portishead Quays) is a mixed-use, waterfront neighbourhood in the town of Portishead in North Somerset and an exurb of Bristol. Masterplanned during the late 1990s on the docklands and power station brownfield beside the Severn Estuary, the area now contains 3420 dwellings, a 133-berth marina, commercial and retail space, a nature reserve, and a sculpture trail. Port Marine has been cited as an exemplar of brownfield suburban regeneration and received a CABE Building for Life Gold award in 2004. It was one of several high-density developments in Portishead to significantly expand the town's urban area and push its population past 27,000.
