en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK's Insite Group is undertaking an office-to-residential conversion in Glasgow's Merchant City, planning to create 153 high-end serviced apartments to expand its presence in the Scottish market.
Located at the intersection of Cochrane Street and Montrose Street, the project introduces the Roomzzz aparthotel brand into a former office building named Cotton House. This marks Roomzzz's second venture in Scotland, following its opening in Edinburgh.
The scope of work involves multiple structural modifications and space optimizations, including partial demolition of the existing basement concrete slab to increase floor-to-ceiling height, and installation of a new mezzanine to expand amenity space. The contractor will also precisely install high-quality modular rooms to enhance building capacity within a 60-week delivery timeline. The project will also feature a modern gym, co-working space under the WorkInc brand, and a podcast studio.
In line with circular economy commitments, existing windows and mechanical and electrical systems will be repaired and upgraded in situ to reduce waste and preserve the building's character. The project is being executed by a dedicated local Glasgow team to minimize transport carbon emissions, and high-quality flooring materials recovered during construction will be reused to avoid landfill disposal.
Scott McMillan, Managing Director of Insite Group, stated that winning the tender for this project is a testament to the team's reputation in complex, high-value refurbishment projects. The Cotton House project presents structural challenges similar to the historic New Picture House building, requiring precision construction and team collaboration. The project partner is The Parklane Group. Construction commenced in June 2026 and is scheduled for completion in August 2027.
