Betfred owner's developer 'in talks' to build 40-storey flats and hotel skyscraper at Gary Neville's St Michael's scheme

The developer owned by the co-founder of Betfred is in talks to build the 40-storey apartments and hotel skyscraper at the St Michael's scheme in Manchester city centre, according to reports.

First reported by React News, Fred Done's Salboy is said to be in discussions with Gary Neville’s Relentless to bring forward part of the £200m development.

The tower is set to include 191 hotel rooms as well as 181 flats.

It has been designed by Hodder+Partners and construction is expected to start by the end of the year. The building would take three and a half years to complete.

Relentless declined to provide a statement when contacted by BusinessLive while Salboy was unavailable for comment.

Construction work on the first phase of the St Michael's scheme started earlier this year.

A total of 185,000 sq ft of offices will be created during the first phase.

The scheme is being funded by KKR, a global private equity firm which backs the likes of UFC and hair care brand Wella.

It was recently announced that global Japanese-Peruvian restaurant Chotto Matte is to occupy the 20,000sq ft rooftop at the St Michael’s development.
