A partnership deal has been agreed to offer further exclusive corporate serviced accommodation in one of Hull city centre’s most prominent locations.
MyPad Serviced and Iguana Developments will offer a limited number of apartments at The Glass House to employers who provide temporary living arrangements for staff.
The £22 million development features 94 apartments, and was created from the former Queens Gardens Police Station. A four-year transformation, first residents were welcomed in 2020.

Nikki Blowers, director of MyPad Serviced, said: “MyPad has a long-established working relationship with the Iguana Group of companies, which has provided accommodation for young professionals around Hull for over 20 years
“We work with a variety of local employers to provide temporary accommodation. It can be tricky finding the right solution for contractor teams, apprentices and management staff. From experience, we know that at the end of the working day, employees away from home want more than a hotel room or studio apartment. Therefore, I am very excited to be able to offer our clients this type of property.
“The Glass House appeals to our clients as a home-from-home where guests can cook their own meals and relax in front of the TV. However, The Glass House offers even more with the in-house gym, cinema, private dining room, games room, co-working space and concierge service. It provides a refreshing change for people who are used to working away from home.”
Early success has already been noted.

Sarah Gill, finance director at Iguana, said: “We are pleased that our city centre schemes; Liberty House and Essex House have been fully occupied for over two years. The Glass House is also approaching full occupancy with a broad community of owner-occupiers, young professionals, retirees and others who choose to rent.
“We agreed to make a limited number of apartments available to MyPad Serviced as they offer an exceptional service, which includes anything from a simple weekly clean to chef-prepared meals and transport to their place of employment. This approach is unique in the city and we wanted to be part of it.
“We are very proud of The Glass House. It’s an iconic building which represents a positive change in mindset for Hull. It’s a beacon of regeneration and we are thrilled that so many people embraced our ethos to provide something new and exclusive, a first of its kind in the whole of the north of England. Now other developers around Yorkshire follow our lead, providing similar smart amenities for residents.”
