Select revises Embankment West in favour of CitySuites

Select Property Group has submitted a revised planning application for the Embankment West site within Greengate, downsizing residential proposals approved by Salford City Council at the end of last year.

A large-scale scheme aimed at the build-to-rent market, totalling 694 flats across 14, 25 and 34-storey towers was consented in December. The project was proposed in a joint venture with Ask Developments, but Ask has now sold its interest to Select.

The revised proposal is made up of fewer apartments in smaller buildings, and now includes the serviced aparthotel element run by Select’s CitySuites brand.

The new designs by Callison RTKL, also architect on the original scheme, show an 18-storey and 16-storey building, made up of 350 apartments, next to another 18-storey block totalling 147 CitySuites flats.

It’s poor. Looks more like one of X1’s Trafford Road schemes.

This is immeasurably worse than the first proposal, it’s garbage.

Looks good to me. Can anyone tell me what was so great about the first design? Both are pretty standard blocks of flats.

By Manc lad

Looks good to me too, taller buildings will be built on the other side of the arches anyway.

Awful in every respect. As is the completed part. If only Renaker had got hold of this site we could have had something special.

Its good to see people aren’t fickle and swayed by a high quality CGI versus a sketch.

I’m sure it won’t end up being much different.

By Alan Partridge

Buildings aren’t just designed to appease teenage skyscraper geeks. This is fine.
