The £30m, 176 bedroom hotel will also contain a roof top Sky bar with views over the city, restaurant, deli, gym and meeting spaces are all housed within a concrete frame. The flat slab construction ensured a tight floor to floor, providing a flat so t for ease of distributing services. The structure was designed as blade columns to fit within the wall partitions helping to maintain the large room sizes set out by the Radisson Red brand. The site is piled to rock with concrete cores providing overall equilibrium to the building.

The site will also contain 80 car parking spaces. The site has been designed with a full SuDS strategy integrated to the cities overall infrastructure network.
