Seddon picked for £60m Ordsall resi
Having parted ways with Vistry on the project, Salford City Council is set to enter into an agreement with the Bolton-based contractor to deliver a 274-home scheme off Robert Hall Street and West Park Street.
Seddon Construction will enter into a PCSA to deliver the project, starting with the 144-home first phase. Upon completion, the homes would be transferred to Derive, Salford City Council’s registered provider vehicle.
Elsewhere in the city, PLP Construction has been appointed to build 58 affordable homes in Weaste. The two projects will result in the delivery of 202 affordable homes in areas of high need.
In Ordsall, Vistry was picked in early 2024 to deliver the £60m, 10-acre Robert Hall Street scheme.
However, after a lack of progress in the intervening months, that agreement was cancelled, as first reported by Place North West.
Salford City Council’s property and regeneration panel is expected to approve a recommendation to enter into the PCSA with Seddon on Monday 13 October.
Designed by Buttress Architects, the Ordsall project would feature a mix of two-, to four-bedroom homes in buildings up to five storeys.
that was quick

Sedon built 100s of homes in Little Hulton in the 1950s, good quality homes for the people of Salford.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

The current site has been left abandoned following the green space being ripped up 18 months aho. It is currently reminiscent of a post apocalypse wasteland with giant dirt hills, metal waste, equipment and giant concrete drains left all over the site for young people to access with e motor bikes. It is shameful.

I’d like to know how much has already been spent on this development. What will happen to the rest of the promised homes (will they get built) . Also will the promised pocked park and roads be part of the new plans? Will there be scaled down plans?
