Planit wins further Salford work

Comprising 54 apartments across two buildings, Poplar and Juniper House off Phoebe Street have been made available through LSH.

The developer is close to acquiring the site of one of DeTrafford’s failed projects, the 421-Wavelength apartment scheme.

Frogmore is looking for a buyer for Cotton Quay, a site earmarked for 1,500 homes that the developer has previously described as “the best” in Salford.

The £2.5bn Crescent Salford masterplan is one of the country’s largest and most ambitious regeneration schemes. Project partners ECF, Salford City Council, and the University of Salford are hard at work turning the vision into a reality for the benefit of local people.

Next week, Salford City Council’s cabinet is expected to approve the creation of a Mayoral Development Zone for the Western Gateway growth location, which encompasses several large regeneration projects in the city and neighbouring Trafford.

J2 Corporation has agreed to pay a £400,000 in developer contributions to unlock a 50-home project on the banks of the river Irwell.

The developer has added to its holdings in the Greengate area of the city and is working up design options for the four-acre site, which could accommodate 1,000 homes.

Salford City Council has been granted an interest free loan to support the redevelopment of the town’s shopping centre.

The investor has acquired a unit at Northbank Industrial Estate for more than £7m.

Salford City Council has approved both the 578-home mixed-use scheme and a 22-storey development at ECF’s New Bailey.

Previously earmarked for a 25-storey tower, the developer, which acquired the site earlier this year, is planning a “more modest and locally sympathetic alternative”.

The developer, best known for high-density for sale schemes in Liverpool, has branched out into the social housing market for the first time, striking a deal with MSV for a 42-apartment project in Salford.

Plans for a 22-storey block featuring 189 affordable apartments are set to be given the go-ahead by Salford City Council next week.

Development manager Bankfoot APAM wants to deliver 578 homes, a 12-storey transport hub, and 100,000 sq ft of office space at the 8.5-acre Ordsall Lane site.

A new 122,000 sq ft distribution facility for the wholesale food supplier and an additional 70,000 sq ft of employment space are planned at the firm’s Langley Road base.

The housing association is working with main contractor Caddick to build 69 social rent homes for over 55s and a GP surgery on 2.5 acres of disused land on Arrow Street in Broughton.

Completing its five-year workplace upgrade and consolidation programme, Salford’s Four New Bailey will be a base for up to 2,000 employees as it replaces the comms giant’s former office in Manchester’s Deansgate.

Imco Holdings and Forshaw Group want to knock down the McDonald’s, KFC, and Grosvenor Casino currently occupying Riverside Retail Park and deliver three residential buildings with the tallest rising to 36 storeys.

The 72,400 sq ft building was disposed of by Peel and will be refurbished by its new owners.
