Consortium firms up plans for 20-storey Manchester hotel
Dean Street Developments, Definition Capital, and Assured CMS have tabled proposals for a 154-bedroom venue off Great Ancoats Street in a growing area of the city centre.
The 20-storey Manchester hotel will be operated under Hilton’s Motto brand.
The Great Ancoats Street scheme would be the first Motto hotel in the UK. Others can be found in New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Rotterdam.
A consultation on the proposals was held in November.
SimpsonHaugh is the architect and Deloitte is the planning consultant.
The submission of plans for the 20-storey building fronting Great Ancoats Street comes in the same week that Manchester City Council firmed up its intentions for two strategic sites nearby.
The Government Property Agency has expressed an interest in creating a civil service hub on the 10.5-acre Central Retail Park site, prompting Manchester to update its SRF for the plot.
A vision for East Village Central, located immediately next to the site of the proposed hotel, has also been unveiled. The city council wants to see a high-density, office-led, mixed-use development on the site of the Stocktons furniture showroom and the former Presbar foundry.
