Sisk in talks to build £300m Man City stadium expansion

John Sisk & Son is in talks to build the £300m expansion of Manchester City Football Club’s Ethiad Stadium, Construction News can reveal.

The Premier League winners are planning to add an upper stand, with 7,700 seats, to the North Stand at their stadium in east Manchester. The proposed expansion would also see a 3,000-capacity fan zone with food and drink outlets, as well as a club shop, museum, office space and hotel.

Laing O’Rourke had been in advanced talks over building the scheme, but walked away from the project last month, having failed to agree a deal. Manchester City Football Club subsequently reached out to several other contractors.

Sisk is already working on preliminary groundworks relating to the project, but CN understands that the Irish contractor is now also in advanced talks about delivering the entire scheme, subject to it receiving planning permission from Manchester City Council.

Manchester City Football Club has previously said the project would involve “over £300m investment in the east Manchester area”, although the value and type of construction contract are unknown.

An official contractor announcement is expected to be made in the autumn, with work starting around November. The works would take the stadium’s capacity up to 61,000.

The football club is hoping to open the newly upgraded North Stand by August 2025, ready for the 2025/26 season, while it expects the hotel and public realm works to be complete by mid-to-late 2026.

Manchester City revealed plans in 2014 to boost the stadium's capacity to around 60,000, with its South Stand and North Stand to be enlarged. However, only the proposals to upgrade the South Stand with a third tier have so far come to fruition, with Laing O’Rourke completing the 6,000-seat job.

Manchester City Football Club and Sisk were contacted for comment.
 
Annabel Tiffin asked Burnham whether the City should be taking money for an arena from a nation with an appalling human rights record..... hypocrisy to slag off Abu Dhabi / CFG then take the money
