Plans for a new 32-bed aparthotel in Bradford are on the table. If approved, this five-story building will rise at the busy corner of Listerhills Road and Thornton Street, just a short stroll from the University of Bradford.
The project promises “spacious” rooms for one or two guests, a rooftop terrace, and a café. Ground level will feature five retail spaces and a shared courtyard filled with greenery and seating, creating a welcoming environment for visitors and locals alike.
This proposal comes from Mi7 Projects, who aim to address Bradford’s increasing need for short- and medium-term accommodations. With more professionals, students, and tourists in town, the aparthotel could be a valuable addition.
The developers also believe this project will breathe new life into a vacant area that has unfortunately attracted anti-social behavior. By turning this unused space into something useful, they hope to enhance the overall local environment.
Interestingly, a recent study by the UK Hospitality Association found that demand for hotel rooms in cities like Bradford has surged by about 20% over the past year. This reflects a growing trend where more people are seeking accommodation in urban areas, driven partly by remote work and travel flexibility.
Bradford Council is expected to decide on this application in the coming months. If they give it the green light, it could mark a significant step towards revitalizing the area and meeting local accommodation needs.
