This new development is a landmark project in the heart of Salford Quays and will include 756 apartments over four phases.
The scheme sees the conversion of two former office blocks and the construction of two new build blocks including a 27 storey apartment block – which will be the tallest building in Salford Quays. The two existing office buildings already have consent for residential use, with Custom House to be extended from six storeys to 10 storeys and Furness House to be extended from 11 storeys to 17 storeys.
Fortis Quays will include a gymnasium for its residents, a pedestrian garden avenue, onsite concierge, car-parking facilities and a neighbourhood square. Aura Technical Services are the sole MEP Management company working directly for Beaumont Morgan.
