After a successful collaboration during pre-construction, Fugen has been awarded the contract to deliver the refurbishment of The Mercantile Hotel.

This iconic State Heritage building, located in Sydney’s historic The Rocks, is Australia’s longest-running Irish pub, originally built in 1914 as a three-storey hotel/pub.

As a solution-driven contractor, Fugen offered valuable insights during the design phase, actively engaging with The Mercantile and our project stakeholders to identify project risks, provide buildability advice, and develop upgrade strategies for compliance, all while ensuring cost-effective construction solutions.

The main works will include construction of a new rooftop terrace bar and alfresco dining area, the upgrade and fit-out of accommodation rooms on the first and second floors, construction of a ground floor concrete amenities block with a courtyard, addition of a new lift shaft to connect all four levels, and a new commercial kitchen.
