UK-based construction company Balfour Beatty has commenced construction work on NEWPORT RE’s (NEWPORT) $6.4m Hotel Row project in Downtown Atlanta, the US.

The project involves the rehabilitation and restoration of 19th century brick buildings along Mitchell Street, the Scoville, the Sylvan, and the Gordon Hotel.

These buildings will be converted into 32,200ft2 of restaurant, retail and creative office space.

Balfour Beatty will repair and replace the mass timber framework and restore the building’s exterior brick façade storefronts to preserve the aesthetic of the hotel area.

The company has already commenced demolition activities at the project site to deliver a 370,000gross ft2 of mixed-use space as well as an additional 27,000ft2 rooftop.

The hotel buildings will include rear windows and new roofing while the Sylvan building will include a new modernised elevator.
