Canada Life, an insurance and financial services company, has put forward plans to the public for a Windsor town centre hotel via an online exhibition.
The scheme intends to redevelop a Boots store at 17/18 Peascod Street into a 124-bedroom hotel with a restaurant, bar, and back of house facilities.
Also included in the proposed plans is the assurance that the hotel will create approximately 40 full time jobs, with another 90 jobs resulting from the wider development.
The developers have highlighted the possible benefits to Windsor’s wider economy the project could provide through a currently “under-utilised site”.
They said: “Our plans will enhance the existing town centre by regenerating a currently under-utilised site to create a new hotel right in the heart of the town.
“The creation of additional bedrooms will provide more accommodation options for visitors coming to the town as well as enhancing the evening economy.”
The development, which is said to generate roughly £1.3m per annum in tourist expenditure, aims to start construction on the site in Summer 2021, subject to planning approval.
