Located on a sloping corner site near the city centre of Dundee, this design and build hotel project for developer Percor Capital comprised the restoration and adaptation of the last remaining buildings that formed part of Dundee’s vast 19th century Dens jute mills complex. The Category A-listed mill, which comprises four buildings linked around a central courtyard, was transformed to create a 102-bedroom Hotel Indigo and an 85-unit Staybridge Suites apartment development, both premier brands of the InterContinental Hotel Group. The buildings lay derelict for a number of years and were consequently in a state of substantial disrepair, presenting us with onerous challenges to ensure that the mill’s valuable architectural legacy was properly protected and faithfully restored.

TESTIMONIAL

"To see Hotel Indigo and Staybridge now, one would be hard pressed to comprehend what the buildings looked like before we started on site. Despite being Category A listed, they were not only derelict but in a serious state of disrepair. The Sharkey team took on the challenge and made this personal. We welcome the opportunity to work with Sharkey again in the future"
