Hotel and office plans for central Manchester

Logik Developments has submitted a planning application to Manchester City Council for a commercial scheme that will form part of the city’s wide-ranging £1 billion Mayfield Masterplan.

The plans will see the developer transform the land on Baring Street – next to the Mayfield Park – to create 20,000m² of commercial office space and a 15,500m² hotel.

Neil Spencer Managing Director of Logik Developments described the development as ‘in keeping with the Mayfield history’ he said: “The Mayfield story has been widely incorporated into this project encompassing the River Medlock, Mancunian Way and the abandoned Mayfield train station. The building nods to the industrial feel of the masterplan and this has been integral to the focus and development of this project.”

OBI has been appointed to market the 12-storey office building scheme, which will be located near to Piccadilly railway station.

OBI Founder Will Lewis said “The scheme will appeal to a range of occupiers and there will be a great deal of interest in the commercial space at Baring Street. This is an exciting new neighbourhood and it’s great news to see the scheme moving forward.”
