IMAGES of a new-build restaurant in Saltaire which is set to be completed in late 2015 have been released.

The development by Cleckheaton Properties is on Queens Road and is being built speculatively, with the agents hopeful of finding a tenant “in the short term”.

Planning permission is in place for the 250m2 building, accommodating up to 110 covers, the construction of which is shortly to be put out to tender. Work is then expected to start mid to late May, with a view to being completed later this year.

Jonathan Holmes, of agent Ernest Wilson, said they usually prefer to build with an anchor tenant in place, but this time was different.

“Because the economy is improving and the confidence seems to be there, we are putting our money where our mouth is and building this speculatively.”

He added that the scheme has already been attracting encouraging interest.

It features retractable glass doors at the first floor, leading to a balcony area, and has the potential for additional outside seating.
