Blue Orchid to convert Atlas House into luxury hotel

Atlas House on King Street, Cheapside, London, will be transformed from a vacant former office building into a luxury boutique hotel by Blue Orchid Hospitality.

The landmark Italianate-style property will now be redeveloped by Blue Orchid Hospitality, the hotel group owned by Integrity International Group and led by hotelier and developer Tony Matharu.

The Grade II-listed building is set to include 104 guest rooms, a restaurant, cocktail bar, health club, spa, swimming pool, gym, and flexible public workspaces.

Blue Orchid said the building will target a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating and will aim to achieve Biodiversity Net Gain, with the scheme focused on restoration and enhancement rather than structural change preserving the character of this heritage site.

The addition of Atlas House expands Blue Orchid’s portfolio of luxury independent hotels and residences in London, which includes Tower Suites, The Wellington, Tower Residences and the upcoming 55 Broadway.

Tony Matharu, founder of Integrity International Group, said: “I am delighted that we are able to move forward with our proposed plans for this landmark building in the heart of the city, affording us on the opportunity to demonstrate our continued commitment to invest in and breathe new life into London property, particularly those buildings at the end of their previous lives; ensuring that London remains the best place to live, work, visit, and invest.”

Bird Group acquires Wiltshire’s Beechfield House

Bird Group, the operator of Roseate Hotels & Resorts, has acquired Beechfield House in Wiltshire to add to its growing portfolio of UK properties.

Alongside the bedrooms, the hotel features an Orangery, walled garden and swimming pool, plus a number of meetings and events spaces. Much of the building’s Victorian architecture has been retained, including high ceilings and antique fireplaces.

Ravi Birdy, executive director, Roseate Hotels & Resorts said: “Each of our Hotels & Resorts has its own distinct character. Each a unique narrative. What weaves them together, is an exceptionally warm bespoke guest experience that is tastefully woven around the very soul of each property, whose charming history, legacy and location are something we like to honour. We welcome Beechfield House and its exceptionally talented team into the Bird family, and we look forward to responsibly and mindfully restoring Beechfield House, reimagined!”

Morgan Sindall starts second Tileyard lab block

Morgan Sindall has started the construction of a new purpose-built commercial science facility in London’s King’s Cross district. The Versa building is designed by David Miller Architects

The four-storey Versa building is the second of four buildings being planned by Dutch company Kadans Science Partner’s within the Tileyard Quarter in King’s Cross. Due to complete in the second quarter of 2026, and located at 4 Brandon Road, Versa will provide 51,500 sq ft of space, designed to accommodate a range of uses from CL2 labs to dedicated production and pilot spaces.

Versa will supplement Kadans’ existing facilities at Mayde, a neighbouring 114,000 sq ft building that opened last year. Mayde was also built by Morgan Sindall. Kadans has further plans to develop more than 300,000 sq ft of laboratory, office and manufacturing space at Tileyard Quarter.

British Library Unveils £1.1 Billion Expansion to Boost Public Access, Innovation and Cultural Infrastructure

The British Library has confirmed a landmark £1.1 billion development plan for its St Pancras site in London. Backed by SMBL, a subsidiary of Japanese real estate developer Mitsui Fudosan, the project will see the addition of 100,000 sq ft of new public space. The expansion significantly enhances the Library’s role as a central cultural, scientific, and innovation hub for the UK, combining heritage access with forward-looking development.

A key feature of the plans is doubling the Library’s current gallery space. This increase in exhibition capacity is expected to improve public engagement with the national collection, enabling larger, more frequent, and more varied displays of rare and significant materials.

Beyond gallery growth, the development introduces new event spaces, learning centres, and expanded business support infrastructure. The design includes new entrances, a multi-use foyer, and a learning facility to enhance public engagement, particularly for education and community outreach.

The scheme also includes dedicated business support zones, incorporating incubator desks and workspaces for start-ups, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.

Roe Valley Resort Unveils £20m Expansion Plan to Create Family-Focused Destination in Northern Ireland

Roe Valley Resort, a four-star spa and golf resort in Limavady, has submitted a planning application for a £20 million expansion to reposition the property as a leading family-friendly destination in Northern Ireland. The proposed redevelopment includes many new features designed to broaden the resort’s appeal and align it with the growing demand for all-age leisure experiences.

The investment, led by Roe Park Holdings Ltd, outlines a vision to evolve the resort into a compact, activity-focused retreat, drawing inspiration from successful models such as Center Parcs. The project's first phase will focus on family engagement, with additions that combine active recreation, soft play, and enhanced dining.

New developments will include a helter-skelter, poolside water slides, an indoor games zone, and a soft play area all designed to attract young families. An expanded pool area will anchor these additions, positioning the resort as an attractive choice for parents seeking short-break destinations that offer comfort and entertainment.

In addition to family-oriented leisure, the expansion includes a new gym facility to enhance the resort’s wellness offer and introducing a Fratelli Italian restaurant to diversify its food and beverage provision. This move responds to market expectations for higher-quality on-site dining and strengthens the resort’s appeal as a full-service destination. The resort currently features an 18-hole golf course, a spa, a swimming pool, a bar and restaurants, and hotel accommodations. With the proposed additions, Roe Valley aims to balance its traditional offering with a more contemporary, family-centric profile.

Group finance director Tiarnán O’Neill has positioned this initiative as a natural evolution for the Galgorm Collection, which owns the resort. The proposed development aligns with wider trends in leisure and hospitality, where the emphasis is shifting toward multi-generational appeal and experience-based stays. Roe Valley aims to extend its market reach and boost repeat visitation by integrating new entertainment and wellness facilities into an already well-established resort.

Mace tops contracts league with Euston Tower win

Mace soared above its rival contractors to secure the highest value of new work for the second month running in the March contracts league.

It took pole position on the strength of a trio of big orders. These included a £600m contract for the Euston Tower overhaul in London for British Land, the £140m pier 6 extension at Gatwick Airport worth £140m and a £100m project for the Pandemic Science build at Oxford University.

According to data compiled by Barbour ABI, the value of projects secured by the leading 50 contractors plunged by 16% to £3.56bn in February from £4.26bn. The number of project awards slipped to 122 from 132 in February. The run of big contract wins for Mace also catapulted the firm into third place in the league for accumulated new orders in the rolling 12 months to March. Sir Robert McAlpine and Morgan Sindall remain ranked in first and second respectively, with little now separating the top three.

Among the other big wins in March, Balfour Beatty secured a £200m contract for the Hykeham Relief Road from Lincolnshire County Council. In the Capital, commercial office upgrade work is starting to offer rich picking for contractors.

Ardmore was confirmed for a major grade 2 building upgrade at 25m Finsbury Circus in the city worth around £150m, while BAM secured a major tower refit and building extension at the Broadgate Campus and Morgan Sindall bagged the office refit for Brookfield Property at 1 Leadenhall Street.

Bouygues to build Cardiff & Vale campus facilities

Bouygues UK has been awarded the contract to build the Barry Waterfront Campus and the Advanced Technology Centre in the Vale of Glamorgan for Cardiff & Vale College (CAVC). Bouygues UK will deliver both buildings through a single contract under the Welsh government’s mutual investment model (MIM) – the largest project yet delivered through the MIM programme.

The project has been developed by the Welsh Education Partnership Company (WEPCo) and designed by Shephard Robson Architects with Arup providing engineering services.

WEPCo is a joint venture between the Development Bank of Wales (Welsh government) and French investment company Meridiam set up to develop education facilities on behalf of local authorities and further education bodies in Wales. Work should start on site in June this year, with an expected completion in summer 2027.

Under the MIM, the new college campuses will be maintained and operated for 25 years by Robertson FM.

The Barry Waterfront Campus (BWC) is being built on a brownfield site in Barry’s Waterfront Innovation Quarter. It will have capacity for 900 full- and part-time students on a variety of courses including art & design, care, hospitality, catering and beauty therapy. A college restaurant and hair & beauty salon on the street front will be open to the public and run by students.

Morgan Sindall breaks ground on Radcliffe school

Morgan Sindall has finally started work on site on a school building contract that it was awarded back in 2023. Star Radcliffe Academy is a five-form entry, 750 place secondary school, operated by Star Academies, which opened in September 2024 in temporary facilities.

Fincantieri bags first AIDA Cruises order for 2 mid-sized ships

Carnival Corp. & plc ordered two ships of a new class for AIDA Cruises from Fincantieri. Delivery is scheduled in early 2030 and late 2031 (fiscal Q1 2030 and 2032).

With approximately 4,200 lower berths each, they are sized between the AIDA brand's 3,200-berth Hyperion class and the 5,200-berth Helios class. The value of the order was not specified but Fincantieri described it as 'very important,' that is, valued at more than €2m.

This brings Carnival Corp. & plc's orderbook to eight ships, set to enter service between 2025 and 2033. The other five vessels are this year's Star Princess, two Excel-class (Carnival Festivale in 2027 and Carnival Tropicale in 2028) and three 230,000gt Project Ace newbuilds (2029, 2031 and 2033). Six are from Fincantieri, apart from the two Excel newbuilds at Meyer Werft.

'With approximately 2,100 cabins each, these remarkable new ships give our guests a completely new class of ship which slot in perfectly between our 1,600-cabin Hyperion-class vessels and our more than 2,600-cabin Helios-class vessels,' AIDA Cruises President Felix Eichhorn said. He promised' amazing new features and experiences that we will reveal over time' and said the multi-fuel propulsion systems will 'future proof our operations into the coming decades.' The new pair will bring the AIDA fleet to 13 ships.

Irish tech billionaire to transform derelict country house into new hotel

Irish tech billionaire John Collison, who co-founded online payment system Stripe, is set to transform the derelict Millbrook House in Co Laois into a new luxury hotel. Mr Collison acquired Millbrook House from Laois county council in 2022 for just €400,000, with the understanding that he would transform the property on the Abbeyleix estate into a private home.

He pledged to spend €6 million restoring the site and said it would be used to welcome close friends and family from around the world who were visiting Ireland.

However, Collison has since been granted permission from Laois county council to develop it commercially instead. According to planning documents, Millbrook House will eventually be home to 16 guest rooms, a restaurant, and a market garden, as well as parking spaces for 42 cars. Some of the bedrooms will be housed within a revived stables, while the restaurant will be set within a new standalone building.

The documents stated: “Our client is committed to -delivering a five-star experience and unique offer, incorporating the restored Millbrook House and new restaurant offer.”

When the bid was first submitted, costs for the restoration were estimated at €6 million, which included €260,000 for emergency works and €4 million on the main project.

A further €379,000 was set aside for the stables with €84,000 -earmarked for surveying and planning. An allowance for inflation of €472,000 was also made, bringing the total to €5.2 million before VAT.

Millbrook House sits on the edge of the 1,000 acre Abbeyleix estate, which Mr Collison snapped up from previous owner Sir David Davies in 2018 for €11.5 million. Before that it was the family seat of the De Vesci family in Abbeyleix. The businessman is also renovating and changing other buildings on the estate, including the boathouse.

Ajmal Makan City Set to Redefine Sharjah’s Real Estate and Tourism Infrastructure

Sharjah is entering a significant new phase in its development pipeline with the AED25 billion ($6.8 billion) Ajmal Makan City – Sharjah Waterfront project. Spanning over 60 million square feet in Al

Hamriyah, the mixed-use development will introduce a city-scale district featuring residential, commercial, and tourism assets across eight manmade islands.

Developed by Ajmal Makan Real Estate Development, the project is designed to support long-term growth across multiple sectors, including real estate, hospitality, education, and entertainment. It is expected to become a cornerstone of Sharjah’s economic diversification and urban expansion strategy.

At full build-out, the project will accommodate more than 60,000 residents, with infrastructure planned to support modern urban living and sustainable development goals. The project incorporates housing, public amenities, open spaces, and transport access across its islands, specifically focusing on reducing environmental impact through energy-efficient design and eco-conscious construction.

Three new sub-developments Blue Beach Residence, The View Island, and Al Thuraya Island have been announced under the Ajmal Makan City banner. These follow early handovers of the Sun Island phases and ahead-of-schedule delivery of the Blue Bay Walk project, which is being completed in three stages.

Ajmal Makan City is structured as a self-sustaining urban zone with a diverse range of residential units, mid-rise buildings, retail outlets, and hotels. Key components include a 1.6 million sq ft theme park and a 3 million sq ft shopping mall, creating significant potential for future tourism-driven revenue streams and visitor experiences. Waterfront restaurants, cafés, and other hospitality venues are planned to support local and international audiences.

The development also features an 800-berth marina, expanding Sharjah’s leisure and nautical infrastructure. With 36km of new coastline added, the project enhances the emirate’s geographical appeal and introduces a new chapter in its waterfront urban planning. Facilities will also include healthcare centres, schools, and a university, ensuring the area serves not only as a residential district but as a fully integrated city environment capable of supporting a wide demographic.

The scale and multi-sector scope of Ajmal Makan City positions it as a high-value opportunity for companies involved in the design, construction, and operation of visitor experiences. With its theme park, entertainment venues, and event-ready infrastructure, the development offers long-term potential for leisure, culture, retail, hospitality and education partners.

As construction progresses, the project is already drawing strong interest from investors and operators, with Ajmal Makan Real Estate Development reporting substantial engagement from local and international markets.
