A five-star hotel that never opened is sending its bespoke interiors to auction. In November, Pro Auction will sell unused furnishings commissioned for The Other House’s planned Covent Garden Residents’ Club, including pieces for 149 guestrooms and its public spaces. Some items remain in their original packaging, from fluted-oak cabinetry and sculptural lounge chairs to marble dining tables and statement lighting. The three-day sale offers buyers a rare chance to acquire a coordinated hotel collection before it ever welcomed guests. Pro Auction will sell bespoke contents commissioned for The Other House’s Wellington Block scheme, a planned five-star Residents’ Club that never opened to the public.

London, United Kingdom, 31st Oct 2026 – Pro Auction will auction the unused furnishings and decorative contents commissioned for The Other House’s planned Covent Garden Residents’ Club. The property, at 25–31 Wellington Street, was in the final stages of completion and scheduled to open in July 2026 as the flagship sister property to The Other House South Kensington. It did not open to the public.

The sale follows Aendre Group’s acquisition of The Other House group and the incoming owners’ decision to pursue a different design vision. Contents from 149 guestrooms and the property’s public spaces will be offered for sale. Some lots remain in their original factory crating, transit wraps and protective covers.

The collection was curated by The Other House’s in-house interior design department, TOHID, in collaboration with Bergman Design House, led by Marie Soliman and Albin Berglund. Items include bespoke upholstered and fluted timber headboards, curved two-seater sofas, fluted club chairs, fluted-oak storage cabinets and hallway consoles with brass inlays and soft-close hardware.

Public-area lots include sculptural lounge chairs and bespoke bistro and large-format dining tables with polished marble, terrazzo or dark-stained timber surfaces on cast-brass and cast-iron bases. The collection also includes restaurant furnishings, sculptures, fine art, decorative objects and architectural lighting. The hotel specification includes Crib 5 fire-rated items and BREEAM Excellent environmental compliance.

The sale offers hotel operators, developers, interior designers, restaurateurs, build-to-rent operators and private buyers the opportunity to acquire coordinated furnishings. The Other House South Kensington opened in 2022 as a Residents’ Club for members and overnight guests. Aendre Group, founded by Eric Jafari and Chris Strong, acquired The Other House group in July 2026.

Simon Rose of Pro Auction said: “Usually, an auction of this scale follows the conclusion of an established operational lifecycle. To step into an iconic Covent Garden island site that was on the threshold of its July 2026 debut and find thousands of pieces from Europe’s top-tier luxury manufacturers—spanning both private guestrooms and magnificent public lounges—that have never been used, never been scratched, and remain in immaculate condition is unheard of. It is an extraordinary opportunity for developers, operators, and design professionals alike.”

The auction will be held as a live and online webcast, with global bidding through major auction platforms. Viewing and digital walkthroughs will be available by appointment.

Downey, California, United States, 31st Oct 2026 – Saiyan Electric, a licensed electrical contractor based in Downey, is helping homeowners in Whittier, South Gate, Long Beach, and the surrounding Gateway Cities navigate the SCE Charge Ready Home rebate process for electrical upgrades needed before installing a Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charger.

How Saiyan Electric Handles the Rebate Process

Saiyan Electric is enrolled in the SCE Charge Ready Home Contractor Network and helps eligible homeowners manage the electrical work and rebate documentation. After a homeowner applies and receives a Prequalification ID, Saiyan claims the project, obtains the required permits, installs the upgraded electrical panel and dedicated 240-volt circuit, and submits the required documentation to Southern California Edison (SCE). This includes the itemized invoice, project photos, finalized permits, and inspection records. Rebate payment follows SCE’s review and acceptance of the required documentation.

Saiyan Electric helps eligible SCE customers in single-family homes prepare for Level 2 charging. For homes with panels under 200 amps, qualifying panel-and-circuit work includes a dedicated 240-volt outlet within 25 feet of off-street parking, excluding the charger and its installation. Income-qualified households may receive up to $4,200; disadvantaged-community households may receive 50% of eligible costs, up to $2,100. Homes with 200-amp-or-larger panels or sufficient existing capacity may qualify for circuit-only rebates: up to $1,000 for income-qualified households, or 50% of eligible costs up to $500 for disadvantaged-community households. Eligibility, approval, charger-installation commitments and funding limits apply.

“A lot of people hear about this rebate and assume the paperwork is on them,” said Michael Velasquez, founder of Saiyan Electric. “We take care of the claim, so homeowners can focus on getting their panel and EV charger done right.”

Under Saiyan Electric’s approved warranty terms, main panel upgrades carry a 7-year warranty, while other qualifying work carries a 3-year warranty, subject to the applicable warranty terms.

Saiyan Electric is a licensed electrical contractor founded by Michael Velasquez, serving residential and commercial properties throughout Downey, Whittier, South Gate, Long Beach, and surrounding LA County communities.
