TYRONE design and build contractor McAleer & Rushe has completed construction on a large-scale dual hotel development located next to Paddington Rail Station in London.

The £208 million complex encompasses a latest generation 393-bedroom Premier Inn hotel, 240-cover Bar + Block restaurant and a 249-bed Wilde by Staycity aparthotel.

The building also delivers a nine-storey, 27,000 sq ft education facility which will open as the sixth form faculty of the nearby Marylebone Boys’ School.

The site, next to the A40/Westway, was acquired in February 2019 by developer Concierge 3, a consortium of BSW Land & Property, Staycity and The Pickstock Group, and funded by M&G Real Estate, and at its peak of construction, 350 workers were employed.

Mark Elliott, contracts director at McAleer & Rushe (http://www.mcaleer-rushe.co.uk/), said: “This very significant and complex development will leave a lasting legacy on the Paddington Basin.

“The close collaborative working between our team, Concierge 3 and all stakeholders has been a hallmark of the project’s success delivering an impressive mixed-use development.”

Miriam White, co-founder of BSW Land & Property, speaking on behalf of Concierge 3, said: “The completion of our mixed-use development at North Wharf Road is an important milestone, completing the successful Paddington Masterplan.

“The development will add to the vibrant mix within the area regenerating communities and businesses alike, and I want to thank M&G, McAleer & Rushe, Staycity, The Pickstock Group, Premier Inn, and the whole professional team for their partnership approach to delivering this impressive project.”
