LPC Living signs 18,000 sq ft deal for Salford’s greenest NHS Health Centre
REGENERATION developer LPC Living has secured a lease on a new 18,000 sq ft NHS Health Centre at its Radclyffe Park development in Salford.
The new health centre, to be called Ordsall Health, occupies a two-storey unit fronting Trafford Road and will provide a range of healthcare services for Ordsall & Salford Quays. Services to be provided will include general practice, speech and language services, baby clinics, health visiting services, psychiatry, district nursing, community dentistry, dentistry teaching, podiatry and pharmacy services.
The centre is the latest addition to the £50m mixed-use Radclyffe Park development where a 50,000 sq ft Morrisons supermarket, 156-bed Travelodge hotel, 79 new homes and a new high street comprising 11 retail units have recently been completed.
The announcement also fulfils one of the main aims of the Ordsall Development Framework, a £150m partnership between LPC Living & Salford City Council, which seeks to improve access to healthcare in addition to creating affordable homes and investment in education and community services.
Simon Ashdown, development director at LPC Living, said: “The population of Ordsall and the Quays has been growing steadily for a number of years thanks to our investment as well as other projects such as the nearby MediaCityUK development. With the new health centre opening alongside the retail and leisure facilities, Radclyffe Park is well placed to serve a growing community for many years to come.”
Falconer Chester Hall architects designed the health centre which meets BREEAM ‘Excellent’ standard making it one of the greenest and energy efficient public health buildings in the UK. Trafford Park-based Russells Construction completed the construction and fit out.
A team from the Manchester office of Gateley advised LPC Living on the deal and was led by Jon Mason, of the real estate division.
As well the new health centre, LPC Living has also signed up Greater Manchester Policel which has opened a new facility in the Radclyffe Park management suite for community surgeries and meetings.
