MediaCityUK Manchester has submitted plans to Salford City Council for a new phase of development including 54,000 sq. ft. of office and studio space as well as a new 112-bedroom Premier Inn. The proposed 10-storey building will have four floors dedicated to the hotel whilst the remaining six will provide a blank canvas for occupiers to design their own creative space to suit their requirements.
As well as being home to the BBC, ITV, Coronation Street and the University of Salford, more than 200 smaller media and tech companies are now based at MediaCityUK.
Once approved construction will commence at the end of 2014 and will be due for completion by late 2015 and the hotel should open early 2016.
