The schemes are all part of the new 50-acre Salford Central neighbourhood, delivered in partnership between ECF and Salford City Council.
Simon Arnott, Morgan Sindall’s managing director for the North, said: ”We’re very happy to once again be on site at Salford Central with the ECF delivering the latest stage of its landmark plan for Salford.
“Over the years we’ve developed a collaborative and supportive relationship with the team at ECF and our local supply-chain, which has been instrumental in helping this project get to site efficiently.
”Throughout the three projects we’ve worked on, we’ve fostered a commitment to using our work on these game-changing schemes to improve the skills base and economy of Salford, in addition to the long-term aim of creating much needed new homes.”
