The 270 apartment build-to-rent scheme was designed by Sheppard Robson Architects and features copper clad buildings.

Situated in the heart of Salford Quays the scheme will be built on the last remaining land to be developed at Erie Basin.

The prominent dockside development is Graham Construction’s second project with Glenbrook, with work already progressing well on a £40m BTR project for the property developer in Ellesmere Street, Castlefield.

Gary Hughes, GRAHAM Construction regional director, said: “Despite some demanding ground conditions, we have been able to help Glenbrook to realise the Erie Basin project through an innovative foundation and concrete frame solution.

“This is our third build-to-rent scheme in the Greater Manchester area and we see residential continuing as a key sector for Graham Construction, building on our portfolio of experience with large scale apartment, student accommodation and hotel projects across the UK.

“We look forward to moving onto the Erie Basin site in May of this year, and expect the project to be complete in summer 2019.”
