Work starts on Salford Embankment phase two

Construction work has started on 100 Embankment, the second and final phase of the Embankment scheme in Salford’s Greengate neighbourhood.

As well as marking the start of work on site the joint venture team also launched a new campaign called 100 Reasons, which will celebrate the wide variety of people helping to build the scheme and enhance the community in the Greengate area.

The 15,400m2, BREEAM Excellent office building is being delivered by Ask Real Estate and the Richardson Family in a joint venture with a Tristan Capital Partners’ Fund and Salford City Council.

Representatives from the JV partnership and BAM Construction marked the occasion by completing the concrete sealing of the 23rd steel stub which connects to the frame of the basement car park below.

This will form the base of the new nine-storey, Grade A office building. Elland Steel Structures is fabricating, supplying and erecting the steelwork for the project.

Commenting on behalf of the JV partnership, John Hughes, Managing Director of Ask Real Estate said: “The second phase of the scheme is now well underway and we are looking forward to seeing 100 Embankment emerge alongside its sister building 101 Embankment.”

Salford City Mayor, Paul Dennett also said: “The start on site at 100 Embankment is a physical demonstration of the continued development and investment in Salford. Once complete this iconic pair of buildings will provide a new corporate centre for the city bringing more jobs and revenue for the local authority.”
