The owner and developer of the project was Eureka Funds Management. Operational management rests with the InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (IHG).
One of the primary aims of the owner and the operator was to verify whether the refurbishment was designed and constructed in an ecologically sensitive manner. A further aim was to assess whether the operation of the hotel will achieve ongoing ecological performance outcomes in environmental, social and economic terms. With these aims in mind Eureka and IHG submitted the building, its immediate infrastructure and eventual operation to the assessment and certification process of the EarthCheck BPDS (Retrofit).
