Brand new development at heart of Salford’s £1bn investment has flats and houses available now
Everything you need to know about this stunning development
The area around Chapel Street continues to receive investment, including a new development of contemporary apartments and townhouses.
The English Cities Fund was set up around 15 years ago by three partners – national urban re-generator Muse Developments, Legal & General and Homes England – with the mission to ‘unlock the potential in our towns and cities, by reinventing urban areas at pace, in new and imaginative ways’.
As part of the scheme, Salford Central received a massive £1bn of regeneration cash to transform over 50 acres of the historic city centre into a brand-new neighbourhood and mix-use destination.
Loads of developments such as Vimto Gardens, Carpino Place and Valette Square have taken place over the years.
Plus the area has seen the introduction of plenty of independent bars and restaurants, with the outstanding Porta Tapas, The New Oxford Pub, The Old Pint Pot, Le Cassi’s Wine Bar, plus Vero Moderno on Chapel Street alone.
You’ll also find Caribbean Flavas, Pizzology, Chung’s Chippy, as well as plenty of arts and culture in the form of the nearby Salford Museum & Gallery and GK Gallery.
Also in the area, on the banks of the Irwell, is the historic Peel Park, which first opened its gates in 1846 and received a whopping £1.6m refurbishment throughout 2017 to return it to its former glory.
The latest addition to the line-up is a new development, Atelier, which is set to be slap bang in the middle of all the action.
Home to 167 contemporary 1, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments, plus eleven new 3-bedroom townhouses each complete with their very own front door, garden and secure parking, Atelier will bring life to the former wasteland opposite Salford Cathedral.
Launch prices are in the region of £170k for a 1 bed with completion of the project due in the last quarter of this year. The apartments are also Help to Buy (Subject to availability, eligibility and meeting government restrictions).
