Salix submits Salford over-55s plan
Located on Arrow Street, the scheme would provide 69 social rent apartments for elderly people, as well as a GP surgery.
Housing association Salix Homes has put forward plans to redevelop the 2.5-acre Salford site before. In 2020, Salford City Council approved plans for a 70-apartment extra care scheme with a dementia speciality.
The updated proposals see the project shift from an extra care facility for the elderly to independent accommodation for the elderly.
Designed by OMI Architects, the three-storey scheme would provide 66 one-bed apartments and three with two bedrooms.
The development would also be constructed to Passivhaus standards and would be Salix’s third scheme delivered to this level of sustainability.
Working with ECF, Salix recently completed the 96-flat Greenhaus, another Passivhaus scheme on Salford’s Chapel Street.
The construction of Willohaus, a 100-home, affordable development on Peru Street, began earlier this year.

Well done Salix, really good to see how this organisation is evolving.
