Andrew Rae, the firm’s co-founder, said: “Ensuring the complex was both viable and thoughtfully integrated into its urban surroundings were big considerations in the planning application stage.

“Our aim is to establish a sustainable community development that responds to the scale of wider developments and city strategies, as well as reintroduces community base back to the north side of Regent Road.”

He continued: “We made an effort to maximising the front of the building and define the edge of the urban block to exemplify the corner node to the existing Regent Road / Oldfield Road junction.

“Furthermore, we strived to create quality civic spaces around the development with a façade that responds to the landscape and the building’s envelope that been inspired by cornerstones of the community, such as Salford Lads club and exiting terraces in the Salford area.”

Warrington-based Vivere Group is the developer behind City View.
