Step Forward For Leicester Tigers' Development
Leicester Tigers have exchanged contracts with Marshall Commercial Developments Projects for its £22 million hotel and car park scheme.
Marshall CDP will work alongside Pick Everard to build a five-floor 183-room hotel on the surrounding 1.7-acre Granby Halls car park site.
The 3,300 sq m hotel will also include a business centre, retail and lobby areas which open up on to a Tigers fan zone alongside a fitness suite, restaurant and fifth-floor 'sky bar'.
Work has now been green lit to begin in summer 2019, subject to planning approval from Leicester City Council.
Tigers chief executive Simon Cohen said: "Since announcing the news to build a hotel and car park here at Welford Road, we've been holding talks with a variety of property developers to ensure the right fit for the project.
"Marshall are without doubt the right fit, boasting vast levels of experience developing commercial properties across the UK and we're excited to take the next step in moving the project forward.
"Tigers are committed to funding the first team to the highest possible level, so we have decided to work with a development partner for the hotel project – much as we would have liked to have the millions to build it ourselves."
Simon Marshall, managing director at Marshall Holdings, added: "The exchanging of contracts now means that we can look to progress the next steps in the project build, with a view to the council completing the appropriate planning application and breaking ground on-site in the summer of 2019."
