en.Wedoany.com Reported - Deansgate Ventures has submitted a proposal to convert Maybrook House in Manchester, UK, from an office building into a 238-room hotel. The building has a floor area of 68,000 square feet.

The conversion plan, designed by Jon Matthews Architects, aims to address the growing demand for hotel rooms in Manchester. The directors of Deansgate Ventures, registered at Companies House as Uri Goldberg and Martin Stimler, acquired Maybrook House for approximately £12 million in 2023 and now plan to redevelop the building by adding two additional floors.

The developer stated that the upper floors of the building have been vacant for some time and no longer meet the needs of existing tenants. According to a planning statement prepared by Asteer Planning, the hotel will be operated by "an internationally renowned hotel operator known for its modern 'light luxury' model." Ruby Hotels, under the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), advocates the light luxury concept.

The plan will change the building's external aesthetic from red to gray, with related consultations conducted earlier this year. If planning approval is granted, construction is expected to take 18 to 24 months. Existing ground-floor tenants, including Tesco Express and Trailfinders, will continue to operate and remain open throughout the construction period.

The project is located across the street from the Treehouse Hotel, owned by Starwood Capital. Nearby, Centurion Capital has received approval to convert Church House into a hotel. Planit, Turley, Atelier Ten, Proximity, Woolgar Hunter, and Edmond Shipway are advising the applicant.
