Construction on the £48m Dock 5 development in Salford is set to start before the end of this year as the procurment process gets underway.

The scheme is being built by ForLiving and will include 389 apartments and feature onsite cinema rooms, a residents’ lounge and a gym.

The eight-storey scheme in Fairbrother Street, Ordsall, has been designed by architect Falconer Chester Hall.

Paul Gerrard Director of ForLiving, said: “Dock 5 is an incredibly unique development, with luxury communal facilities rarely seen in Greater Manchester.

“Ordsall is fast becoming a prime location for both commuters and young people. We wanted to reflect that youthful vibrancy by providing the ultimate in urban living. We are delighted to deliver this to the local community.

“This scheme is the latest in the Group’s commitment to developing state-of-the-art properties across the North West region.”

Dock 5 is due to be completed in 2023.
