Morgan Sindall Appointed to Deliver 23-Storey Salford Central Development

19/4/24

Morgan Sindall Construction has been appointed to deliver a 23-storey, 196 apartment building in Salford after funding was approved by CBRE Investment Management. The building is part of the Salford Central Regeneration Project, delivered by ECF – which comprises Homes England, Legal & General and Muse Developments.

The building will be at Plot C2, located on the bank of the River Irwell between the Slate Yard and Novella residential developments, both of which were also delivered by ECF. Morgan Sindall Construction, which built Novella and The Slate Yard, has been appointed to deliver the C2 development.

Simon Arnott, Morgan Sindall's Managing Director for the North, said: "We're very happy to once again be on site at Salford Central with the ECF delivering the latest stage of its landmark plan for Salford.

"Over the years we've developed a collaborative and supportive relationship with the team at ECF and our local supply-chain, which has been instrumental in helping this project get to site efficiently. Throughout the three projects we've worked on, we've fostered a commitment to using our work on these game-changing schemes to improve the skills base and economy of Salford, in addition to the long-term aim of creating much needed new homes."

The new building will also feature 3,800 sqft of internal amenity space, including a gym, co-living and working space, and a 1,850 sqft roof terrace on the twenty-second floor.

Designed by Hawkins\Brown, C2 will feature a mixture of modern one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Hannah Marshall, CIO - UK Direct Real Estate Strategies at CBRE Investment Management, added: "Like most European cities, Manchester's build-to-rent market is undersupplied, and high-quality assets with strong sustainability credentials, like those planned at New Bailey, are rarer still."
