The Development contains 88 Serviced apartments with an additional 5 apartments for staff. The development consists of a luxury spa and separately branded restaurant, equipped with all of the technology for operating in the post-pandemic era; for example phone entry system technology, Solar and EV charging points in every car park bay.

The Apart-Hotel/Hotel and short term let sector has been smouldering on an evolutionary precipice for some time with the first stage being the online booking sector in the early Noughties and following the introduction of AirBNB which has enabled anybody with a property to become a makeshift Hotel, without any requirement to meet the safety standards of larger operators.

The next tectonic shift is about to happen, the regulation of the short term lets sector: "All short-term lets in Scotland will have to be licensed by 1st July 2024"

All properties in Scotland that are made available in the short term lets sector will be required by the Local Authority to have planning permission or change of use which will put Control back in the hands of the owner / operators that have the required Class 7 planning approval..

The Alpina serviced apartment has been conceptualised taking into account every detail with the operational details meticulously planned ready for market delivery to serve the burgeoning UK staycation market. "Thinking Beyond the Pandemic"

"2022 will finally bring a real value associated with sustainability as investors shun properties without the right green credentials"

Ecological/Environmental

Scotland and the western isles are strong advocates of sustainable and environmental technologies. The Alpina development has green sustainability at the heart of its design. All technologies that reduce the carbon footprint of the building have been explored. Ground and air source heat pumps, energy efficient windows and frames, rainwater harvesting and wind and solar have been considered in order to establish an efficient and cost effective package that does not lose energy through transmission.

With its close proximity (around 300 metres) to the Ferry terminal it is expected that around 50% of guests will be arriving by foot or bicycle. However, with the UK government's pledge to stop the production of all petrol and diesel cars by 2030 we have taken the initiative of amending the design to incorporate new charging points, further increasing the desirability and eco credentials of The Alpina.
