McLaren will convert the building into a 270 bedroomed boutique hotel for developer Crosstree Real Estate Partners.
The hotel, designed by ORMS, will be formed through extensive internal and external renovation. Three new floors will be added on top of the existing structure in the form of a steel frame box. The building鈥檚 separated west stair core will also be removed to open up a new north-south route.
The building is on the main Euston Road, opposite St Pancras International railway station, making it logistically challenging.
McLaren Construction managing director Phil Pringle said: 鈥淭his is the first contract McLaren Construction has secured with Crosstree Real Estate Partners. We are thrilled to be a part of this exciting project and look forward to increasing our position in the 鈥榟igh end鈥 hotel sector and bringing our expertise to deliver this quality boutique hotel.鈥
