Silverstone Building Consultancy has been appointed as project manager to complete the hotel close to Liverpool Lime Street, which was previously being delivered by collapsed firm Marcus Worthington.
Grade two-listed and delivered to designs by Alfred Waterhouse in the 1870s, the North Western Halls building was used first as a hotel, then offices then student accommodation.
Acquired by Marcus Worthington Properties from Liverpool John Moores University in 2016, the project secured a £20m loan from the Merseyside Pension Fund ahead of a hoped-for completion of autumn 2020.
Radisson is lined up to operate the 201-bedroom hotel under its RED brand.
