The 42-storey skyscraper will be built in Greengate.
Salford 's first 'co-living' tower has been given the green light - but a councillor warned 'it's more George Orwell than living.' Developer PL North Bridge got permission from Salford City Council today to build a 42-storey tower block on Gorton Street in the city centre. It comes with 568 studio apartments with a kitchenette, bedspace, and bathroom, each around 21 to 32 square metres in size.
'I think rent would be well in excess of £1,000 a month, I think it's unlikely it would be anything less, maybe more around £1,500 a month. 'We should be making it very clear to developers the type of accommodation we need in Salford.' Based in the Greengate area of the city, the complex aims to offer an alternative and more social way of living compared to traditional apartment blocks.
