Plan to build Salford’s tallest building takes major step forward
A plan to build Salford’s tallest skyscraper has taken another towards becoming a reality.
A planning application has been drawn up for a 55-storey tower which looks set to dominate the city’s skyline.
One Heritage’s plans for the residential tower in Greengate have been submitted to Salford City Council following a public consultation.
The building will include one, two and three bedroom apartments, as well as offices and major public realm improvements including a river walkway.
Earlier this month One Heritage held a public consultation where people could view the plans and ask questions of the project team.
The team included One Heritage, Euan Kellie Property Solutions, OMI Architects, Layer Landscape Architecture and Social Communications.

“I would like to thank residents who attended our recent consultation event and it was great to see the strong levels of support for our project and the benefits that it will bring to Greengate and the wider area. We are already in talks with a lead contractor to deliver the project and we hope following a successful determination, we can commence construction in late 2020.”
Nick Berry, OMI Architects said: “It’s fantastic to see plans for One Heritage Tower take a step forward today with this planning application and that local residents are supportive of the iconic design we have developed for the scheme.
“We have worked closely with Salford City Council to create a building that not only ties in with Salford’s aspirations for the area but will make a significant contribution to the skyline of this emerging quarter of the city.”
