'They have let the city down': Fury over former Debenhams site as threat issued to developer
A warning has been fired to the developers of one of Manchester's most iconic buildings who stand accused of 'letting the city down'.
Coun Pat Karney, city centre spokesperson at Manchester Council, slammed the building as the city's 'scruffiest' last month. The council says it was given promises that the old Debenhams would be tidied up as soon as possible.But weeks later, the once proud department store still has smashed windows and graffiti.
"I will be calling them in next week so they can tell us why they have let the city down." The councillor's comments followed a furious tweet, in which Coun Karney labelled the team responsible for the building 'jackasses'. The Rylands building is owned by CD9 Properties Limited, which is registered in Guernsey. Last month, it was announced that German real estate investment firm AM alpha was working on the redevelopment project for the Rylands, which will be built out by Russell WBHO.
