£125m casino complex to open in Birmingham
BY Aoife Dowling
Resort Worlds Birmingham leisure complex is set to open at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham by January 2015.
It will comprise a Genting casino as well as a 176-room hotel and spa. Other facilities include a cinema and extensive conference facilities as well as a factory outlet centre.
Casino operator Genting UK are beginning work on the £125m leisure complex after appointing contractor Galliford Try.
This development will be Genting's first Resorts World complex in the UK and Europe but will join a number of Resorts World complexes across the world.
Peter Brooks, president and chief operating officer of Genting UK, said: "This is a significant and complex development and therefore we required a construction partner with the capacity and experience to manage such a large scale project.
"We now look forward to working with Galliford Try on constructing an exciting leisure and entertainment complex at the NEC site in Birmingham."
