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.
