First homes at Timekeepers Square to go up for sale

Part of the 36-property development in Salford known as Timekeepers Square will come to market next month.

The first phase, which comprises three-bedroom homes with roof terraces located behind Chapel Street, will go on sale on February 5, with the remaining properties hitting the market at a later date.

English Cities fund (ECf), a joint venture between developer Muse Developments, financial services giant Legal & General and the government’s Homes & Communities Agency, is delivering the Georgian-style scheme alongside Salford City Council.

The residential sales and marketing manager at ECf, Hollie Reynolds, said: “With Timekeepers Square having been so highly anticipated for such a long time, it’s really exciting to be able to now unveil the development to prospective homeowners.”

The development follows on from the launch of the nearby Vimto Gardens, which came to market in 2014 and saw all 97 homes snapped up within 12 months.

Hollie continued: “If the success of Vimto Gardens is anything to go by, we don’t expect Timekeepers Square to be on the market for long!”

Named for its proximity to a number of prominent clock faces, including those on St Philip’s Church, Timekeepers Square forms the next stage in the Salford Central regeneration project, which is aiming to transform the Chapel Street and New Bailey areas of the city.

Once complete, Salford Central will create around 11k jobs, 849 new homes, 390 hotel rooms and 220,000 sq m of commercial space.
