Glenbrook submits plans for 220,000 sq ft PRS development in Salford Quays

Property developers Glenbrook have submitted a planning application to Salford City Council for their private rented sector (PRS) development overlooking Erie Basin.

The 16-storey development, which will be housed on the last remaining underdeveloped site on the dock at Salford Quays, will provide 270 apartments, residents’ gardens and a car park across approximately 220,000 sq ft of space.

If approved the Sheppard Robson Architects-designed building would be Glenbrook’s fourth build to rent scheme in the North West, following hot on the heels of the first phase of its 240-apartment The Keel project at Liverpool Queen’s Dock and its 232-apartment Castlefield site in Manchester which is now under construction.

Glenbrook Director, Ian Sherry, commented: “This deal further demonstrates our ability to source and deliver exciting projects in the built to rent sector. We are one of very few developers in the sector to have delivered private rented schemes from start to finish and should this planning application be successful, we will have achieved consent on over 1000 apartments in the past three years.

“We have the same number again in different stages of acquisition and design and continue to look for opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

Located adjacent to MediaCityUK, Sherry believes the development will prove a big draw due to its location in the burgeoning cultural and leisure hub at Salford Quays.

Providing planning is approved, Glenbrook is targeting a completion date of Summer 2019.
