Multibuild to create Birmingham Hilton
Contractors have been appointed to build Birmingham’s Hampton by Hilton hotel. Multibuild will transform a disused 17-storey office block into Europe’s largest Hampton by Hilton site.
Multibuild is a Stockport-based Balfour Beatty subsidiary. The company was awarded the contract by Birmingham-based property specialist Office Villages.
Work on the site will include demolition works, asbestos removal and stripping the building’s interior back before undertaking a comprehensive fit-out.
Once complete, the hotel will comprise 285 bedrooms, a reception hub, a restaurant and fitness suite.
Lee Bailey from Chignal Consultancy, Office Village’s project manager, said: “For the Hampton by Hilton project we came to Multibuild with a budget and the brand specification to see if they could make it commercially viable. Throughout the preconstruction phase they’ve worked with us and our design team to develop a number of value engineering solutions that have helped the scheme to progress while remaining true to the Hampton brand standard.”
