Embankment Exchange

Embankment Exchange is a residential development under construction in the Greengate area of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. It will comprise 300 apartments across two buildings connected by a central podium: the 107 m (349 ft) tall North Tower and 50 m (163 ft) tall South Tower. The buildings were designed by Jeffrey Bell Architects.

Once completed, the North Tower will become the fourth-tallest building in Salford and the joint 17th-tallest building in Greater Manchester with City Tower.

History

Planning

The planning application was submitted to Salford City Council in August 2015, with planning approval obtained in March 2016.

Construction

In 2017, Elliot Group commenced construction of the complex, then called 'The Residence', but progress was delayed the following year when main contractor Forrest went into administration. Work stalled again in 2020 pending the results of a wider fraud investigation, before restarting in February 2022 following the acquisition of the site by Legacie Developments who renamed the development 'Embankment Exchange'. Construction was expected to complete in 2023, but is ongoing as of February 2024.

Facilities

The development will include a spa, gym, residents lounge and bar, work-from-home booths and a 24-hour concierge.
