Isle of Man – Altostratus presents plans for casino project in Douglas
By Phil - 9 August 2022
Ilse of Man-based Altostratus Limited wants to build a three-storey casino and entertainment centre in the cpaital of Douglas which would ‘help link the growing leisure offering on the North Quay with the well-established shopping and business districts.’
Project manager for ADG Architects John Bell said: ‘The proposed development at Middlemarch will be one of the biggest commercial schemes seen in the town centre for several decades and will help link the growing leisure offering on the North Quay with the well-established shopping and business districts in lower Douglas.
“Subject to obtaining the necessary approvals to move their casino licence, Palace Hotel & Casino Limited will be an anchor tenant for the development, with two of the three floors in the leisure complex earmarked for their casino, conference, and entertainment offering,” he added. Altostratus is working closely with the Manx Development Corporation (MDC) to ensure that the scheme fits well with MDC’s wider aspirations for the lower Douglas area. Further discussions will take place with MDC over the coming weeks ahead of the formal planning application being lodged later this year.’”
