Creating New Temporary Accommodation

Originally earmarked for demolition, the project involved a full back-to-frame strip-out of the tower, bringing the 1970s building up to modern standards. The refurbished tower now provides 17 floors of accommodation, two recreational floors, and one management office floor.

Up-to-date life-saving equipment was essential due to the building’s height, occupancy density, and recent regulatory changes. Fire safety measures have been installed throughout, including sprinklers, fire lifts, wet and dry risers, automatic opening ventilators, smoke extraction systems, and automatic door actuators. The building also benefits from a stand-by generator and new water tanks.
