Search the Public Notice PortalTHE major redevelopment of an iconic former Irvine hotel which closed its doors 11 years ago is set to finally be complete by the end of this year.
The King's Arms Hotel fell into a derelict state in recent years, and is now it is being transformed into six new council houses in the heart of the town.
A North Ayrshire Council spokesperson said: “Work is continuing on the much-anticipated redevelopment of the Kings Arms Hotel.
“It is a complex project as we preserve the historic façade of the building and progress continues to be made on the internal work.
“Once complete this year, this project will not only provide six new homes for council tenants but will also breathe new life into an important location in the heart of Irvine.”
The development will be complete later this year, ready for tenants to move in.
The hotel closed to the public in 2015 and lay derelict in the years that followed, becoming an eyesore on the town’s High Street.
The run-down C-listed building was then bought by North Ayrshire Council in 2020 with proposals revealed two years later to “secure the future” of the old venue.
It was announced in 2022 that the former hotel would be transformed into six affordable one and two bedroom homes. The almost £2million project was supported by a Scottish Government grant.
The project is part of a major transformation of the town centre with some clean-up work being carried out in the Bridgegate area through the Irvine Neighbourhood Board and other plans being considered for that area through £20m in UK Government funding.
