Gilbert Ash has kicked off construction on a £120m Wilde aparthotel in London for Dublin-based Staycity Group and developer The Property Trust Group.

The 11-storey scheme at 19 Great Eastern Road in Shoreditch will become Staycity’s largest Wilde-branded property in London and its fifth in Zone 1.

WT Partnership is project manager with completion slated for May 2027.

The aparthotel will deliver 275 studio and one-bed units with self-catering layouts and a full suite of amenities including a restaurant, café bar and cocktail lounge, dining areas, fitness room and guest laundry. A biodiverse roof tops off the build.

Wilde launched in Covent Garden in 2018 and now spans Berlin, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London, Manchester and Vienna, with new openings on the way in Amsterdam and Porto.
