History

Planning

The planning application was submitted to Salford City Council in August 2015,^[4] with planning approval obtained in March 2016.^[5]

Construction

In 2017, Elliot Group commenced construction of the complex, then called 'The Residence',^[2] but progress was delayed the following year when main contractor Forrest went into administration.^[6] Work stalled again in 2020 pending the results of a wider fraud investigation,^[6] before restarting in February 2022 following the acquisition of the site by Legacie Developments who renamed the development 'Embankment Exchange'.^[7] Construction was expected to complete in 2023,^[2] and in October 2024 it was announced that completion was due by the end of the year.^[8]

Facilities

The development will include a spa, gym, residents lounge and bar, work-from-home booths and a 24-hour concierge.^[9]
