With business in Manchester thriving, and more and more tourists visiting the city’s cultural and sporting attractions, demand for our brands is rising. “We’re pleased to be once again working with Create Developments, this time in conjunction with IP Investment Management of Hong Kong and Maven Capital Partners UK LLP, to deliver another standout hotel to the UK market.” In follows the rising popularity of Ancoats for both business and leisure with many creatives flocking there and a boom in the buy-to-let property market. Paul Mathison, managing director, Create Developments (Manchester) Limited added: “Having worked on this development for the past two years, it’s fantastic to reach this milestone and allow works to commence on site, by our sister company Create Construction Ltd, within the next quarter. “The success of this development has been underpinned by the collaborative approach adopted by all of the stakeholders, including Maven Capital Partners, IP Investment Management, CBRE Global Investments and Manchester City Council, when concluding the legal and funding platform.”
