RED Construction Group has been awarded a contract to undertake the £13m ($16.56m) mixed-use redevelopment of Alumno Group’s Hollis Wharf in Bath, England, UK.
The project involves the transformation of the former Jubilee Centre into purpose-built student accommodation and commercial space, spanning 45,000ft² across five storeys.
Designed by AWW Architects, the development is scheduled for completion in mid-2025.
Alumno founder and managing director David Campbell said: “Following the works carried out by a previous contractor, it was crucial and imperative that we partnered with a team who had a strong track record and reputation for delivery in the region. Who could also mitigate the project’s challenges, as well as hit the ground running to drive the scheme forward within the timeframes required.
“We are pleased to have found that certainty and confidence within RED Construction Group’s South West team and appreciate their dedication to getting things turned round and on track.”
RED South West, a division of RED Construction Group, will oversee the construction of 120 student apartments and a new commercial unit for Mercy in Action, a local charity.
