Plans to create a 151-room hotel in Manchester city centre are expected to move forward next week and, if supported, the allocation would create many jobs.
The proposals are lined up for a Piccadilly Gardens and involve a couple of assets.
The first is 67 Piccadilly, which was built as a hotel in 1841 before undergoing several renovations and reuse.
It is now about to be demolished and replaced by an 11-story, 97-room four-star venue.
It is also proposed to reassign 69-75 Piccadilly to accommodate 54 units. In total, the hotel would consist of 151 rooms.
Visitors staying at the site are estimated to generate annual expenses of approximately 5. 5 million pounds, equivalent to 50 jobs.
The structure charge would be 27 million pounds, with approximately 228 positions created in the procedure and another 500 oblique and induced functions supported.
Once in operation, hotels and restaurants would have space for 186 stations.
A report to the Manchester City Council’s drafting plan committee, which will meet on 19 November, said: “The proposals would be consistent with a number of key priorities for expansion in GM’s strategy and would herald sustainable economic expansion.
This would deliver a high-quality construction and regenerate an environment characterized mainly by poor quality.
Approval has been recommended.
