MediaCityUK starts £20m expansion
Work is underway on a £20m project at MediaCityUK which includes a new 112 guestrooms Premier Inn hotel.
The new ‘Tomorrow’ development totals over 100,000ft² and also features new offices and studio space to meet increasing demand for the fast-growing creative and digital industries.
International architects Chapman Taylor have started work alongside construction partners Bowmer and Kirkland with work scheduled to be complete by summer 2016.
Managing director Stephen Wild, comments: “MediaCityUK has been a key trigger in the explosion of creative start-ups and national relocations so it’s essential that we give these businesses the right type of space and the flexibility to grow organically.
“The design of Tomorrow is experimental, quirky and a little bit different and what we will be on offer at Tomorrow will be complementary to the state-of-the-art digital technology in broadcast & production, audio and virtual reality arena currently offered at the Landing and Dock10.
“Equally, MediaCityUK has become a thriving destination and our new hotel will be able to service the increasing number of people visiting the area.”
The 10-storey building will have four floors dedicated to the hotel, while the remaining six will be for business use.
