Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site

[blueparrot]

The completion of the complex is behind schedule; the club naturally aren't impressed and have threatened legal action against the construction company. Initial plans were to move in for preseason, but they're now looking at making the transition from Carrington during the August international break.

November has been the planned move date for ages now

Don't think that's right Blue Parrot. Stand corrected

The club wanted the training academy up and running pre-season. The November date was final completion for the whole academy.

A bit like moving into your house, even though it isn't finished.

I Stand corrected , thanks for that JRB

From a selfish point of view I'd wish City had done something similar with either the South Or North stand, and created a Kop like stand at one end of the stadium.

Feyenoord's new stadium.

I hope they get it sponsored by Forsyths on Deansgate, so we can have one of those pianos half way across it that plays itself, just like the one on that bridge at the Trafford Centre, or maybe just employ Jean Michel Jarre to play there on match days with a state of the art keyboard

Anyone else see him at the MEN a couple of years ago? "Thank you Birmingham".

See there's a document for "Rapid Charging Point" planned for Gate 2 car park for electric cars on public access.. zzzz haha

On the Section 106 Agreement (http://www.publicaccess.manchester.gov.uk/associateddocs/selecteddoc.aspx?104315-ser-0001.pdf) however I see it mentions that we will be working with the council to help improve bus routes and also promote "Combined Ticket Initiatives".. basically to persuade car users to use public transport. We already do it with the season ticket for Metrolink but maybe they might explore selling the season ticket with buses etc. Also a taxi rank on Rowsely St.

The club are looking to add 200 cycle parking spaces that could be sponsored/branded (Barclays??)

The club want to promote the walk from the north stand to city centre by new signage/floor markings;

Man City backers plan 7,000 Eastlands homes


By Chris Berkin | Investment | Leisure | Residential | 28-03-2014 | 15:35 | Print


Manchester City Football Club’s Middle Eastern backers are in talks to fund a 7,000-home regeneration of the Eastlands area around the Etihad Stadium.

The council and UK Trade & Investment are attempting to orchestrate a £750m injection from Manchester City sponsor Etihad and owner Sheikh ­Mansour, deputy prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, to revive the rundown area of the North West city.

The regeneration would cover up to 90 acres of undeveloped, underused and derelict industrial property on land between Manchester City’s stadium and the city centre.

A source said: “It is a rundown part of Manchester, it deserves to be linked up and it needs to be. It needs that entrepreneurial, philanthropic investor. This could see the area come forward more quickly than some might think.”

A phased development would see higher-density towers developed towards the city centre. The regeneration would feature a significant private rented ­element, as well as commercial and retail space.

Sites from the Homes & ­Communities Agency around Holt Town and the Greater Ancoats Corridor have been transferred to the council to be included in the regeneration.

These include a former textile quarter earmarked for 3,000 PRS homes. Further land parcels in the Lower Medlock Valley and Beswick could also be included.

A newly built Metrolink line through Holt Town has galvanised the scheme.

The regeneration talks are part of a wider drive by UKTI to attract overseas funding into the UK residential sector.

In November 2013, UKTI’s Regeneration Investment Organisation secured a £700m investment deal with Gatehouse Bank, delivered by Sigma Capital, for as many as 6,600 new privately rented homes, the first 2,000 of which will be in Liverpool and Greater Manchester.

A strategic regeneration framework for the Holt Town area, formerly known as the Bradford Road Triangle and considered the city’s “missing link”, was published in December 2013.

According to the most recent census in 2011, Manchester’s population is growing at 19% – three times the national average.

Manchester City FC is building a £120m training centre in the area, and has recently received planning permission to extend its stadium by a further 14,000 seats to a capacity of 61,000. A potential leisure project adjoining the stadium is also under consideration.

All parties declined to comment.

Is that referring to the area we all thought was going to be turned into the leisure destination, or is it in addition to?

I read to be in addition to? It sounds like the corridor through Holt town to the Centre that the tram goes through. The leisure destination will be around the stadium area and collar sight as I understand it.
