Gary Neville admits 'huge mistake' in St Michael's development after public backlash and U-turn

Gary Neville has admitted he made a 'huge mistake' after initially earmarking two historic Manchester city centre buildings for demolition as part of his £400m St Michael's development.

The scheme which has been hailed as a ''defining regeneration project' - involves the creation of hundreds of new homes, a five-star hotel, a public square, offices, and a roof-top restaurant.

Work on the first phase of the mammoth project off Deansgate - a nine-story office block called No 1 St Michael's with restaurant brand Chotto Matte on the rooftop and two food and drink outlets on the ground floor - began in January last year.
