DRAMATIC drone footage has captured Manchester’s major indoor leisure resort taking shape.
The £500 million Therme development, spanning roughly 28 football pitches, can be seen coming together from above.
Chief Commercial Officer Jonathan Lingham said: “For the first time, you can see the design translating into reality.
“The central hub is a defining part of the scheme, and it’s now clearly visible on site as the project begins to take shape.”
Once complete, Therme Manchester will be one of the largest urban wellbeing resorts in the world and the “biggest paid-for attraction in the UK”.
It is currently scheduled to open at the end of 2028, boasting several state-of-the-art facilities.
Inside, visitors can expect a heated waterpark with lots of spa and wellness facilities.
The complex will have an outdoor beach as well.
This will be the first Therme site in the UK with separate locations in Germany and Romania.
Therme Manchester was first announced back in 2020 and was due to open in 2024, before being delayed.
When construction started in September, Therme UK CEO Prof. David Russell said: “Today marks the official beginning of a once-in-a-generation project for Manchester and the North West.
“Therme Manchester will be a place for everyone – a unique destination where wellbeing, sustainability, art and culture come together.”
