The6 storey building is constructed using an in-situ concrete transfer structure at ground floor level with precast concrete bedrooms over. The foundations were piled due to poor ground conditions. Environmental concerns were paramount in the design stage and the hotel is the first budget hotel to achieve LEED Gold Standard. Derek Astbury, Shepherd Gilmour’s Director in charge of the project commented, “We are delighted that this first easyHotel has now opened. We believe that this will be one of several easyHotels in the Gulf region. Shepherd Gilmour are at the forefront of delivering this type of ground-breaking project from our Dubai and Abu Dhabi offices.” For further information about Shepherd Gilmour’s UAE operations, contact Derek Astbury at dastbury@shepherd-gilmour.com
