Staycity Group, with Citygrove as development managers, have achieved resolution to grant planning permission for a new 185-room Wilde Aparthotel at Wyvil Court, in London Vauxhall.
Construction is expected to begin in summer 2026, with the new Wilde scheduled to open in early 2028.
The property will include a design-led front-of-house with publicly accessible reception, bar, co-working space, café and pantry shop.
The approved plans feature high-quality architecture designed by EPR Architects while delivering a contemporary and highly sustainable building. Once complete, the development is expected to support around 140 jobs.
Barry Hickey, managing director of Staycity’s real estate arm, said: “This is an exciting milestone for Staycity Group to secure planning permission for its own development south of the Thames and in bringing a new Wilde to Vauxhall.
“The design team on this project have created a beautiful, sustainable concept which will deliver a unique hospitality offering to guests and the wider community, will generate new jobs and deliver lasting economic benefits for the area.”
Tom Fuller, development director of Citygrove, added: “We are delighted to have secured a resolution to grant at Wyvil Court. We have worked hard to ensure the design responds sensitively to its context while meeting the highest standards of sustainability. This project will play an important role in the ongoing regeneration of Vauxhall and Nine Elms.”
Dublin-based Staycity Group was established in 2004 by CEO and co-founder Tom Walsh and the company now operates 6,300 aparthotel rooms in 39 aparthotels across 20 cities.
