The new project, called Old Adelphi, is the latest phase of ECF’s 800-home Adelphi Village, part of the £2.5bn Crescent Salford masterplan being delivered in partnership with Salford City Council and the University of Salford.
The Centenary Building, designed by Hodder + Partners and opened in 1996, won the inaugural RIBA Stirling Prize that year but had stood empty for years before being torn down.
Salford University’s Centenary Building, which won the Stirling architectural award in 1996, was demolished earlier this year
ECF – the joint venture between Homes England, Muse, and Legal & General – is now proposing three new blocks designed by Buttress Architects for the three-acre Old Adelphi site, bounded by Cannon Street, Adelphi Street and Peru Street.
Designed by Buttress Architects, Old Adelphi features one, two, and three-bedroom apartments and duplexes across three buildings, standing at five and six storeys.
The design team includes Clancy Consulting (Civil/Structural Engineer) Hannans (MEP Engineer)
Together the three blocks are expected to cost around £60m to build. Work is expected to start next spring if planning approval is granted.
Lawrence Myatt, senior project manager at ECF, said: “Through Crescent Salford, we’re creating communities that are built to last, and this next stage of Adelphi Village will deliver a diverse mix of homes to meet the needs of people in Salford.”
