Planning applications have been put forward for the construction of a £150 million residential towers development in Salford.

The proposed ‘City View’ development will be made up of four towers ranging from eight to 24 storeys.

Included in the towers would be 37 town houses and 488 apartments with commercial, retail and amenity space.

If accepted, the towers would be built at the junction of the A57 Regent Road and Oldfield Road, which links Manchester with Salford.

Local architect Fletcher Rae has put forward the designs on behalf of Vivere Group, the residential branch of Bilt Group.

The parties involved are hoping to start construction of the towers in spring 2018.

Joint Managing Director at Fletcher Rae, Andrew Rae, commented: “The form of the building responds directly to the vision of the site to create a viable and sustainable regeneration development in a strategic location on Regents Road. The development will link to existing community infrastructure and adjacent developments.

“This proposal is intended to repair the severed link that exists between these communities and developments and create a much-needed activity node for movement between these key places in the city.”

Meanwhile, last month plans for a huge £33m tower block which will house almost 200 plush flats in Salford were approved.

The luxury X1 The Gateway close to Salford Quays will see 191 one, two and three-bedroom apartments built by early 2018.

The impressive development will feature a gym on site, car parking, secure bicycle storage, a management office in the foyer and shops on the ground floor.

Some apartments will also have large roof terraces and the double-height ground floor will boast floor-to-ceiling windows.

Council chiefs in Salford approved Knight Knox and X1 Developments’ application for the buy-to-let apartment scheme on Trafford Road at the town hall’s latest planning meeting.
