£75m Adelphi Wharf gets thumbs up
PLANNING approval has been granted for the luxury £75m Adelphi Wharf residential development in Salford.
The project on Adelphi Street on the banks of the River Irwell and within walking distance of Manchester city centre includes 580 apartments and townhouses, with phase one due to be completed in early 2017.
Approval has been given to specialist provider of buy-to-let developments to the private investor market Knight Knox to proceed.
Amenities for the 450,000 sq ft development are set to include secure bicycle storage, an on-site gymnasium, concierge reception area and landscaped gardens. Secure underground parking will also be available.
Martin Copeland, managing director at Knight Knox, 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 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 water front.
“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.”
