Construction contracts, lease agreements and service agreements for a new, triple-hotel construction

A budget hotel. A luxury/apartment hotel. An office building. Owner-occupied flats on top of the office floors. Cafe/restaurant on the ground floor of the budget hotel. And a desire for quickly commencing the construction works.

As legal counsel to the employer, partner at Holst, Holger Schöer was (and is) in charge of drawing up all necessary agreements and simultaneously contributed to a fast process. This meant, among others, that he prepared contracts with the group behind the budget hotel, lease agreements for the apartment hotel, the contractual framework for businesses moving into the offices, lease agreement with the tenant of the cafe – and the construction contract which inherently was quite special.

Since the employer wanted the construction works to begin quickly, it was decided to involve the contractor a lot earlier than usual, meaning that the construction went on alongside with the plan-ning, instead of organising the whole contractual basis first and then commencing construction works.

Holger’s legal advice entailed the many contractual documents being finalised and that the con-struction works were commenced at the time required.
