These are Public realm works carried out at Chapel Street in Salford by Galliford Try Civil Engineering as part of Urban Vision. The English Cities Fund is behind the development of 83 apartments and 14 houses. It is a joint venture between Muse Developments, Legal & General and The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA).
Work is under way on the first major development plot at Chapel Street – part of the wider Salford Central scheme. The development, which is being delivered by English Cities Fund (ECf) – a joint venture between Muse Developments, Legal & General Property and The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) – in conjunction with Salford City Council (SCC), marks the first phase of the multi-million pound regeneration project. This first phase, which the HCA and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), have agreed to invest in, will see the creation of 14 new town houses, 83 apartments and new commercial premises, including a convenience store. Phil Mayall, development director at ECf, said: “This first phase will kick-off the transformation of Chapel Street and marks the beginning of construction of the Salford Central development plans, which are set to regenerate and breathe new life into the area. When complete, Salford Central – which is made up of two inter-dependent, but distinct areas, Chapel Street and New Bailey – will create around 11,000 new jobs, 220,000 square metres of commercial space, 849 new homes and 390 hotel rooms. Salford City Council’s Assistant Mayor for Strategic Planning, Councillor Derek Antrobus, said: “We are now on the verge of transforming Chapel Street as we know it. This exciting and ambitious project will lead to new homes, offices and shops, while creating a vibrant hub at the heart of the community. The HCA has invested £ million into the scheme, through its Get Britain Building fund.
