The £500m Therme Manchester development; earthworks are now beginning to define the site for the first time.
The outline of the project’s central circular hub – a key feature of the design previously seen only in CGI renderings – is now clearly visible on the ground as construction progresses.
Spanning a site roughly the size of 28 football pitches, the emerging layout marks a shift from concept to construction, as the outline of the scheme starts to take form within the landscape.
Once complete around the end of 2028, Therme Manchester will become one of the largest urban wellbeing resorts in the world with lagoon and wave pools, multi-sensory sauna rituals, steam rooms, water slides and affordably-priced luxury, across spa therapies and health and fitness experiences.
Jonathan Lingham, Chief Commercial Officer at Therme Manchester, 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.”.
Therme Manchester was recently announced as one of the first signatories of Circularity in Practice, a nationwide initiative inspired by His Majesty The King, which promotes practical approaches to material reuse and circular design.
Therme currently operates four major facilities in Europe and is developing new destinations worldwide, including in the UK, mainland Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.
