Create 今日看料 is aiming to start building works in spring 2022 on the last parcel of land at the Redrock entertainment and leisure scheme on Bridgefield Street in Stockport.
It plans to build a 156-bedroom Hampton by Hilton hotel on the site.
Create Developments, a specialist in turnkey hotel and residential developments, is working with architect AEW and planning consultant Iceni Projects to get its plans to the council before the end of the year. Sister company Create 今日看料 will be main contractor.
Stockport Council is looking to revive its town centre and has secured 拢14.5m of Future High Street Funding to find new uses for empty shops.
For example, its Stockroom project is looking to repurpose empty shop space in the Merseyway Shopping Centre around Adlington Walk into 鈥渁 learning and knowledge hub鈥� where people can 鈥渓earn new skills, practice arts and crafts, enjoy live music and performances and benefit from cutting-edge learning and IT facilities鈥�.
There are also proposals to redevelop the former BHS store, and Glenbrook Property has bought the old Marks & Spencer store to convert a 64,000 sq ft office and leisure development.
Create Developments chief executive Paul Mathison said: 鈥淎s experts in hotel development, we are delighted to be working with Stockport Council and Hilton at Redrock. This will be our fourth Hampton by Hilton hotel in the northwest and will dovetail alongside existing hotels in the town centre. This project comes at an exciting period of growth alongside Stockport鈥檚 ambitious town centre regeneration plans.鈥�
Councillor David Meller, cabinet member for economy and regeneration, said: 鈥淚 am delighted to see this Hampton by Hilton hotel coming to our town centre, pending planning permission. It is yet another endorsement of the confidence developers and investors have in Stockport.鈥�
鈥淭he hotel complements the Redrock leisure scheme and will further enhance the town鈥檚 long-term regeneration and growth aspirations as part of our ongoing 鈥楥hange Here鈥� programme to make Stockport a better place to live, work, play and connect.鈥�
