Henley Homes Group pushes on with construction of new Glasgow hotel
Property development company Henley Homes Group is moving forward with the construction of two design-led hotel projects worth a combined £15 million following a pause in activity due to COVID-19.
The group’s subsidiaries Henley Construct and Henley Design will be delivering the projects for Rogue City Hotel Group.
In Glasgow, construction is underway transforming a late B-listed 1800s former tribunal court into an all-suites boutique hotel, which will be known as The Wellington. It will provide a mixture of 98 boutique hotel rooms and serviced apartments, sympathetically restored with changes to its historic facade kept to a minimum. Completion is expected in Q2 2022.
Meanwhile in Cambridge, Henley has commenced construction on the Grade-II listed Hobson House - formerly the first police station in the city. It is being transformed into a new 56-suite hotel, atrium-style restaurant and meeting rooms, to be occupied by Rogue City Hotels, with completion expected in Q3 2022.
Aaron Usmani, construction director at Henley Homes Group, said: “The Henley Group’s unique offering, which spans in-house design, construction, development and operation puts us in an exceptionally strong position, whether delivering our own projects or for external clients. Our breadth of sector expertise, from residential to hospitality, means we are also resilient and well-positioned to weather any shifting market conditions.”
Nassar Khalil, director of hotels & leisure at Henley Homes and CEO of Rogue City Hotel Group, added: “These two projects exemplify what we stand for, with a focus on outstanding design, technology, quality and attention to detail. Both properties will breathe new life into iconic historical buildings, transforming them into design-led luxury accommodation with exceptional service, comfort and convenience curating a special relationship with local communities. It’s these values that define a Rogue City Hotel.”
