Work begins on £42m 412-room hotel scheme at Airport City Manchester
Construction has started on a new £42m 412-bed TRIBE hotel at Airport City Manchester, which will be the first of its kind in the UK.
TRIBE will be the third new hotel at the development, following the 280-bed Holiday Inn and a 262-bed Ibis Budget which are due to open in summer 2022.
The nine-storey TRIBE scheme will include a restaurant and bar, a gym and a crew lounge for airport staff.
Expected to take two years to build, the construction is being undertaken by MY Construction.
Yoav Tal, MY Construction managing director, said: “During the past 16 years we’ve delivered over 2,500 keys of premium hotel developments across the country so it’s great to be working with the Airport City Manchester development team and Accor on building what will be the first TRIBE hotel in the UK.”
Built at the foot of the £6m pedestrian and cycle bridge connecting Airport City with Wythenshawe, TRIBE forms part of the wider hotel district which is set to comprise a cluster of nine new properties offering more than 2,400 new hotel rooms.
Gareth Jackson, group property managing director at Manchester Airports Group (MAG), said: “Seeing construction commence on our third hotel on-site is another fantastic landmark at Airport City Manchester. The hotel district is a key element of the development, providing a crucial amenity cluster between The Hut Group campus, the wider business district, and one of the UK’s busiest airports.
“Bringing TRIBE to site demonstrates our ongoing commitment to catering for those quality and forward thinking brands looking for the scale, opportunity and connectivity that Airport City Manchester offers occupiers and we’re looking forward the hotel opening in 2024.”
Key contractors involved in the design, project management and construction of the project include MY Construction, Faithful + Gould, AECOM, Dexter Moren Associates, Meinhardt, Rusupo and NBM.
