Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Jumping the gun. They’ll obviously change them up when they start the actual landscaping.

Jumping the gun?

Who knows.

The planters aren't part of the Etihad Campus.

OVG and CFG don't have any responsibility for the planters. They belong to the city council.

The planters have been like that for years. The city council have left the trees to die and the planters to rot. Just another example of the council not bothering

I was in town yesterday before going to BOTW. The amount of litter in the city centre was an absolute disgrace. As for the general up keep and appearance of the NQ, that was even worse.

It's all good and we'll having billions pouring into the city, which is welcome, towers and office blocks going up every where, but if the council and Biffa can't even get the basics right, clearing up litter, keeping the streets clean and tidy, removing tagging, graffiti, etc, it's a sorry state of affairs.

I saw one road sweeper out in town yesterday. That was at Circle Square. It was owned by the property developer Bruntwood.

More fencing has gone up and a new wider and longer route/access to and from the stadium to the tram station looks to have been created.

wonder if they will stop trams from stopping there whilst work is on going? Or move the entry/exit points to go around

Breath of the Wild? Great game but Tears of the Kingdom has surpassed it.

Slightly off topic.

I appreciate property development is off another scale in London compared to Manchester. But Manchester is the best regional city for property development outside London.

Like everyone else. After the Coop Live Arena and the North Stand expansion have been finished, I'll be intrigued to see what proposals Sheikh Mansour has for the Collar site and other empty plots of land surrounding the stadium on the Etihad Campus.

This shows current allocations, there is a lot planned but not on MCFC land as far as I can tell yet.

I'm guessing no outdoor bar this season with Summerbee's being demolished.

I wondered that. Anyone got any info?

@jrb there is a document that says what the council want the collar site to be, an entertainment area, Wembley and Kings Cross in London have shown what can be done with brownfield sites, the biggest issue for the Collar site is transport until they do this then nothing can happen as the roads etc will be at capacity. Is there a Manchester plan that the council release to advise what they would like built-in Manchester

Some scrap metal there. Worth a Bob or two. Weigh it in!
