The Bermuda Financial Centre was planned to sit on a large five acre urban site adjacent to the west boundary of the City of Hamilton. Butterworth Associates & Design Limited were selected as master planners and lead architects for Bermuda’s largest urban development project. The site, previously occupied by the Bermudiana Hotel, was designated for mixed development use by the Government’s own planners. Much detailed negotiation and discussion with them evolved a project that occupied less than 50% of the site, yet housed a 170 room, five star hotel, 45 luxury condominium apartments, 250,000 sq. ft. of prestigious office buildings and an underground parking facility for 300 cars.

  • Full planning approval for this project was obtained before it was abandoned.
  • Formal planning requirements for the site were subsequently altered to allow a sub-division and development as single use office buildings.
