Prominent North West developer and construction company Legacie Developments has secured a deal to acquire a landmark site close to Salford Quays for a £40million residential scheme.

The new development will see Liverpool-based Legacie, which has delivered a variety of successful residential developments in Liverpool, expand operations into Greater Manchester.

The site, which is located on the junction of Ordsall Lane and Dyer Street and adjacent to the River Irwell, has already been granted planning permission for 196 residential apartments and a commercial unit.

The multi-million pound development, which will complement the significant investment already underway in the burgeoning Salford Quays district, will be known as ‘Merchant’s Wharf’ in a nod to the industrial heritage of the area.

John Morley, managing director of Legacie Developments, says: “We are incredibly excited to announce plans for Merchant’s Wharf. The area between Salford Quays and Manchester city centre is experiencing a real renaissance with huge investment and regeneration underway and we are pleased to be playing our part.

“Our development, comprising 196 state-of-the art apartments, will add further quality to the residential offer in the area. This is Legacie’s first development in Greater Manchester and we are looking forward to starting work.”

Legacie Developments is partnering on the project with investment consultancy RWinvest. Together they have developed a long-term strategy that will see them targeting further development opportunities in Greater Manchester in the coming years.
