Justice Mill Lane Hotel and Office Development
Project description



Won in competition, our major mixed use inner city site unites both the commercial buildings and the hotel, making a single composition around the public edge of the site.
Our overall strategy for the site was designed around the creation of semi public courtyards in the centre of the site and was concerned always to try and establish a new piece of the city rather than just a closed commercial development.
The scheme is split between high quality office space and a Radisson SAS Hotel for The Rezidor Hotel Group.
This hotel creates 164 bedrooms plus all associated public and service facilities. The total office floor area (gross) is just over 13,000m2. This is a significant building, but it is a new part of the dense urban centre of Scotland’s third largest city, one which has major international connections particularly related to the oil industry. Buildings of this scale are being built elsewhere in the city and are a valuable part of its growth and development.
The project for Hazledene Estates Ltd was won in competition last summer and the planning consent was approved in June this year.

Construction cost: £35 million
Client: Hazledene Estates Ltd
Contract type: Design and Build
Construction period: Planning Consent Approved in June 2007
