The upcoming stages involve completing the dome and minarets, currently bare steel structures.
The mosque and community facility are being constructed by the Issa Foundation, a family charity led by billionaire EG Group owners, brothers Mohsin and Zuber Issa.

Once finished, the mosque will be the second most expensive in the northwest, following the £8.6 million Raza Jamia Masjid in Accrington, which opened in 2017.
