SALFORD City Council have approved plans for two new towers of 34 and 14 storeys beside Trinity Way in Greengate, Salford.
Norton Court will also overshoot Manchester’s third tallest building
Proposed by King Street-based Silverlane Developments and designed by Jeffrey Bell Architects, the two blocks, named Norton Court, will provide 300 one, two and three-bed apartments and cost in the region of £50m.
The largest of the towers - which tops out at 110m - will become Salford’s tallest building, 22 metres higher than the nearby under-construction One Greengate and twenty higher than the Blue building in MediaCityUK. Norton Court will also overshoot Manchester’s third tallest building, 17 New Wakefield Street (aka Student Castle), by just one metre.
The site, which borders the River Irwell and totals just half an acre, is currently being used as a surface car park beside the Abito apartment block.
Elsewhere, Salford’s planning committee also approved 383 apartments at Adelphi Street, 246 apartments on Hulme Street and 107 homes on Agecroft Road – over 1000 new homes in total.
