Millenium & Copthorne. Technically two hotes, one is attached to the back of the stand and one is 10 meters away (Not attached). Stayed a few times (non match days) and its quiet. Having 100's of dates with Football, Rugby, Stadium gigs and Gigs at the new arena, would need a lot of hotel rooms.... Plus all other amenities. Lets hope this leads to the transport situation being improved.Chelsea have 2 Hotels. Think 1 is part of the stadium, and the other Hotel is next to the stadium? From what I remember the Hotels haven't made a profit. Stand corrected on that. Chelsea were going to demolish the Hotels as part of the proposed new stadium, which never happened.

Not the best beers and service can be a bit slow but compared to inside the ground its OK, been in a couple of times over the years, especially when they banned beer elsewhere on European nights
Not much seating or places to rest your pint, you end up just standing about
Plenty of towers currently under construction and to come. Renaker at the forefront with other property developers either building towers or proposing towers.

Yeah JRB - I like to keep on top of what's going up in Manchester.
Deansgate Sq and surrounds is starting to look very special, then the stuff going in around Greengate in Salford and the Trinity stuff (groundworks started there?)
God knows how much the current malaise of this country will stem the developments (and leisure side of things) however.

That’s my only concern. Recession, inflation, interest rate rises, cost of living, etc. Looks like another economic downturn/cycle is looming.
Thankfully foreign property investment is still pouring into Manchester. Especially from Hong Kongers who have recently moved to Manchester and are investing in property.
Manchester’s numerous property development companies and international development companies are still pressing ahead with their residential and office developments and proposals.
Hopefully Manchester can weather the economic storm ahead and come through it relatively unscathed?
Lol.

The city isn't even close to meeting and matching demand for flats, driving prices up quite steeply in the centre, which seems mad to me how quickly they're throwing those big builds up around the edges of the city centre.
Yes.
My landlord is starting to make moves on pushing my rent up (new contract missives pinged my way).
A tiny arsed one bed flat in South Manchester (which I only took as it was near my kids when I separated....then the ex upped sticks).
Roasting in the summer and utterly freezing in the winter but wish me luck finding somewhere soon. The neighbour in the flat next door looked into it recently and it was a real struggle to find anywhere.
A flat in the city (for a year) takes my fancy if I'm honest, but I'd be a fair distance from my kids.
I remember when the 'NQ' was effectively the Dry Bar, Afflecks and Eastern Bloc Records.
If you go there now (and my work office is in the NQ) it's absolutely teeming with people.

I know it’s not really the subject of your post, but those 3 names don’t half take me back.
Feel like I spent half my youth bobbing between those 3 locations ;-)
I appreciate this is off topic, but it’s 2am, I’m on the 2nd week of my 2 week holiday, and I’ve been scooping since 5pm, watching footy and reading BM. :-)
Some of you will know what Greengate looks like now. Still a work in progress. Towers going up, great public realm, landscaping, etc coming forward.
This is what Greengate used to look like. Ghost Car Park City. Note the temporary lake, far right, which is no longer there.

I think it was Ian Simpson who said something along the lines of "for a City to grow planners need to expand the boundaries of the the city centre".

Funny isn't it. Since the pandemic has been over I've spent more time in Ancoats, Salford, Redbank, and Picadilly than I have in what I still consider "the centre". When I first arrived in Manchester you wouldn't have been going to those places unless you were looking for drugs or prostitutes (or, once in a while, an illegal rave).

Manchester is the highest inflation on renting in the country, some have it at 23%. And yeah south Manchester is the highest in Manchester. (I own in Levy having moved from the centre about five years ago, just about the best decision I could have made).
