Coplan Create Room for £30m Barking Hotel Scheme
|
Coplan Estates are planning a £30m investment in seeking to redevelop an existing car park in the heart of Barking town centre, on Wakering Road, for a landmark 21 storey hotel.
The proposed development will provide a prominent gateway building adjacent to Barking Station. The hotel will target the 3 star sector, and will deliver 187 bedrooms, meeting/conferencing facilities, gym, restaurant and a landscaped podium roof garden.
The scheme is an important component in the ongoing transformation of the town and particularly around the station area, where upgrading works are planned in the near future. Coplan owns the adjoining Trocoll House in which they run a successful serviced office business. The scheme will also potentially provide additional space to expand the business centre and direct connectivity to reinforce use of the hotel facilities.
Nick Doyle, Coplan Director, comments “The initial investment in the site met our strategy of acquiring income producing property with redevelopment potential. From initial concepts through to the detailed submission we have enjoyed positive support from the local authority and Thames Gateway to bring forward these proposals which align with the wider regeneration aspirations for the town.”
