Relentless Developments, the property firm co-founded by Gary Neville, has submitted a scoping report to Manchester council for a new scheme featuring a hotel, apartments and offices in two towers next to the River Irwell.
The proposal, based at St Mary's Parsonage in the city centre near Deansgate, includes the demolition of the existing Cardinal House building. The two towers would be 35 and 46 storeys tall, containing 172 hotel rooms, 434 apartments and eight floors of offices.
Initial Step Before Full Planning Application
The scoping report is an initial step ahead of a full planning application being made for the council to consider. Relentless Developments was approached for comment.
If approved by the council, construction of the schemes could be completed between 2031 and 2034.
Site Accessibility and Connectivity
The scoping report states: “The Site benefits from excellent accessibility and connectivity, being located a short distance from the Spinningfields business district, Deansgate and Manchester's primary commercial core.”
It adds: “St Mary's Parsonage connects directly to Bridge Street (A34), providing convenient access to the wider city centre highway network. The surrounding area comprises a mixture of modern office buildings, commercial premises and high-quality public realm spaces.”
Relentless Developments was founded by Gary Neville and Anthony Kilbride. The company has led a range of projects in Manchester, including Hotel Football and now St Michael's, a five-star hotel experience in the city opening in 2027.
