Above the upper tier, there will be a sky bar with views overlooking the pitch, as well as a stadium roof walk experience.

A covered City Square fan zone with capacity for 3,000 people, featuring a variety of food and drink outlets, will be constructed alongside a new club shop, museum, workspace, and a 400-bed hotel as part of the Club’s wider development.

The North Stand will be complete and open for the 2025/26 football season, with the hotel, workspace, and public realm works—including City Square—set to be delivered by late 2026.

Construction Milestone

Sisk and Manchester City marked a significant milestone in the development of the Club’s £300m entertainment destination, as they celebrated the topping out of the project, with the installation of the final steel on site.

The topping out ceremony signifies the completion of the highest structural point of the development, which upon completion will increase the stadium’s capacity to over 60,000, create a new covered 3,000-capacity fan zone, and introduce a state-of-the-art museum experience.
