The 444-apartment building was designed by Denton Corker Marshall Architects , which was earlier due to be brought forward being the final of three towers from the Greengate regeneration scheme. The sequencing has now been swapped to facilitate development with Renaker already on site delivering its 52-storey Colliers Yard building, designed by OMI Architects.
The 371,000 sq ft structure will feature 7,000 sq ft of commercial area on the ground floor as well as a one-, two- and three-bedroom mixed apartments. Renaker, who last year won the three-tower Greengate scheme outline approval, presented a building control application for the Salford Greengate cluster second phase last month.
