A HALF-FINISHED North-East hotel is yet to find a buyer, almost five months after being put on the market.
Planning permission for a 120-bedroom hotel and 80,000sq ft health club, on a site at Teesside Airport, was granted three years ago, but the Mirage Hotel and Leisure Group ran into problems with the development in July.
Delays linked with the airport development and problems with sewerage systems led the firm to pull the plug.
The site was put on the market, with the sale being handled by Leeds estate agent Colliers Conrad Ritblat and Erdman. Andrew Watt, the estate agent's director, said in August thatthere was considerable interest in the site.
But almost four months on a deal is yet to be reached.
The complex was being built to coincide with the south side development at the airport. But the £340m development, which would have made the airport one of the biggest freight-handling centres in Europe, has faced difficulties after being branded unrealistic by managers.
