Remember about 3 seasons ago they were working that piece of land putting drains and other things in.
The Sister Tower to the Beetham Tower is my guess -
If they're going to do that then they should go really high - tallest in UK or Europe or whatever.
Hotel makes sense I guess. That plot's big enough for more than just a hotel though would you say?It wouldn't stack up to do something that tall there and the council wouldn't give it planning. Residential flats around there don't yield as much as true city centre. City are doing the residential developments in ancoats and new Islington which will stretch the city centre further towards the etihad campus. I think the plot marked red in the recent pictures has always been earmarked for the hotel long term.
