Approved: Planning application for luxury £75m Salford development

The planning application for a luxury £75m residential development has been approved.

The application was made in January 2015.

Knight Knox submitted the application for Salford-based Adelphi Wharf which will be completed over three phases and be based on Adelphi Street on the bank of the River Irwell, within walking distance of Manchester city centre.

It will comprise 580 apartments and townhouses, with phase one due to be completed in Q1 2017.

Managing director at Knight Knox, Martin Copeland, said: “2015 is proving to be a very exciting year for Salford, due to significant investment into the city’s regeneration.

“After several months of preparation, we’re thrilled to be providing the area with high quality residential property and valuable investment opportunities, whilst boosting our portfolio with such a distinctive scheme.”

The development will be let and block managed in its entirety by Fortis Lettings and Management, while Fortis Developments will act as developer for the multi-million pound scheme.

Director of Fortis, Kieran Moore, said: “Fortis Developments has worked closely with Salford City Council and Urban Vision to ensure that the design and visual impact of Adelphi Wharf complements the area, whilst incorporating modern architecture along the city’s waterfront.

“A riverside walkway will be created to offer easy access to the waterfront, allowing residents to enjoy Salford’s surroundings with ease.

“Adelphi Wharf is an exciting project, which we expect the whole area to benefit from, enhancing the city’s growing reputation and breathing new life into this currently vacant site.”
