Greater Manchester neighbourhood could soon be home to the UK's third-tallest skyscraper
The third-tallest skyscraper in the UK could be built in Salford, new documents have revealed. If approved, the landmark would only be smaller than The Shard and 22 Bishopsgate in London.
The plans have been revealed in an EIA scoping opinion request submitted to Salford City Council. and if approved construction could start in 2026, with the first residents moving in two years later.The eight-acre retail park was acquired by the private equity firm for £16m in 2020 and is home to Home Bargains, Pets at Home and TK Maxx stores. If planning permission is approved the stores will remain open until 2026, when the current lease expires.
Speaking at the time, Matt Brook, founding director of Matt Brook Architects, which is leading on the design, said: "At the heart of our placemaking-led, people-first vision for Regent Park is a new urban park, which will provide much-needed green space for Salford residents. As part of the development a new 'urban park' could also be built. Split into four zones, it would include a public square, an area dubbed 'Oldfield Yard', which would include art and lighting 'inspired by the site's railway and industrial heritage' and Ordsall Steps 'a colourful gateway to and from Manchester city centre with water fountains, street gardens and outdoor seating'.
