Background
The project involves the demolition of the three existing buildings and the design and construction of a two-level basement and a fourteen level hotel on Russell Street. When complete, the 189-room boutique development will offer multiple different spaces including three retail tenancies, a signature restaurant space at basement level, a ground and rooftop bar on Level 11, a multi-purpose space for events and functions, a gymnasium and back-of-house operational areas such as offices, change rooms, end-of-trip facilities, luggage storage, laundry and housekeeping rooms, and storage.
Scope of Service
Following the project hitting troubled times during construction with the developer going into administration, Gallagher Jeffs was appointed to get the project back on track. Our role included a detailed review of the programme and costs to complete the project. Once agreed, our team continued to act as project manager and superintendent to the project.
