Construction has begun on a £20 million retail and leisure development at Manchester Piccadilly, anchored by a 157-room Travelodge.
The project, led by Associated Property Investors (API), will be Travelodge’s twelfth hotel in Manchester and fifth in the city centre, boosting its room count to 763 in the heart of the city. Featuring 157 guestrooms and a 102-
seat bar-café, the property will occupy the site of a previous amusement arcade, well known in the city as the location of the Woolworths fire in 1979. Architectural firm
Garnett Netherwood has been appointed to the scheme, alongside contractors GMI Construction Group, while funding has been secured through HSBC bank. Work is expected to complete by December 2013. “Manchester has traded very well over the
past five years, with a thriving leisure offering thanks to its strong retail offer, vibrant social scene, the Manchester Arena and due to the continued success of the city’s famous football clubs, City and United,” comments Paul Harvey,Managing Director for Development at Travelodge Hotels. “When you also account for a strong business sector, boosted by the MediaCity UK development and arrival of the

The impressive tenant line up is testament to both the quality of the location and the strength of the Manchester economy.” Also housed in the new development will be
supermarket brand Morrisons and restaurant chains Zizzi and Nandos.
