The Nobu tower will reach 246m, over 76 storeys, making it the country’s second-tallest building
The Nobu tower may be developed by Salboy for Nobu Hospitality, a company founded by Nobu Matsuhisa, Meir Teper, and Robert De Niro.
The tower will be constructed in Deansgate.
The Nobu tower will offer housing and a hotel
Nobu is a company primarily dealing with food catering and owns 56 restaurants across the globe. The Nobu tower will hold another restaurant, along with a hotel with 160 rooms, and 452 Nobu-branded residences.
The residences will feature Japanese design details and premium amenities, such as Nobu dining and room services, a swimming pool, spa, a podium garden, and a gym.
Developer Salboy is currently said to be the developer through their in-house contractor Domis. If planning permission is granted, construction may begin this year.
The tower would cost £360m
The Nobu tower is currently being referred to as Viadux 2.
Simon Ismail, co-founder of Salboy, said: “This £360 million deal for Nobu Manchester will take the city to new heights in terms of service, cuisine, and experience. Chef Nobu’s cuisine, renowned worldwide, has influenced dining across the globe. Even if you haven’t dined at a Nobu restaurant, you have likely experienced dishes inspired by his innovations. As the original innovator in fine dining, Chef Nobu popularised a blend of cuisines in exciting new ways, leaving a lasting influence on every modern restaurant you see today. We are excited to unveil plans for the UK’s first Nobu-branded residences and hotel, with this signature hospitality offering at its heart.”
Fred Done, co-founder of Salboy & Betfred, said: “For decades, I’ve travelled extensively while growing my businesses and exploring a vast array of dining experiences. Yet, Nobu has consistently set the benchmark for fine dining, offering impeccable cuisine and unparalleled hospitality wherever I go, whether in New York, Singapore, or soon in Manchester. I’m truly excited to welcome the Nobu team to Manchester. As a businessman, I understand why Robert De Niro and his partners chose to invest in Nobu. It is about more than just money; it is about bringing this level of class to Manchester and celebrating what it means for the city.”
Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality, said: “We are proud to include Manchester in our global collection, with its vibrant culture and growing global status. Strong partnerships are essential to our success, and with Salboy, Fred Done, and Simon Ismail, we have the best-in-class partners with a solid reputation and a world-renowned vision.
“Having grown up in the area, I am personally immensely proud of this project in a city that continues its evolution as a global destination for luxury hospitality. Manchester is home to world-class developments, a thriving culinary scene, and a growing demand for high-end lifestyle experiences. None of our locations are cookie cutter; we wholeheartedly embrace the spirit of each destination. We are delighted to be working with Salboy to blend the Nobu experience with the essence of Manchester.”
