Dutch developer citizenM to open first hotel in Scotland
Semple Fraser have acted for Dutch company, citizenM, in the construction of a new 198-bedroom hotel at Cowcaddens in Glasgow. The hotel, which is due to be completed later this year, is citizenM’s third hotel, its first in Scotland.
For the construction of the hotel, citizenM uses a unique modular building method; the rooms are completely prefabricated in citizenM’s own production facility and subsequently transported to the building site, where they are assembled to create the hotel.
This building method reduces the on-site construction time to only 8-10 months and ensures minimum construction waste and on-site energy usage, thus contributing to a sustainable construction process and a sustainable building.
The hotel is part of an ambitious European expansion plan with 20 hotels planned during the next 5 years, on prime locations in European major cities.
Semple Fraser provided construction advice to Citizen M, who is a new client for the firm.
