Manchester-based 5plus Architects is set to reveal major plans for a 244-acre Salford University and city centre masterplan ahead of further announcements at the MIPIM<\/a> international property show later this month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A vast area in the centre of Salford, spanning the Crescent and University areas, is set to undergo major redevelopment as the city targets strategic growth in a bid to create a district to rival Manchester<\/a>‘s Northern Quarter. The plan involves 225 buildings, 25 hectares of open space, 20,000 students, 166,250 square metres of academic property, 1,367 on-campus student beds and 1,820 committed residential units.<\/p>\n

Adjacent to where the scheme is set to take place is the Chapel Street and New Bailey regeneration area, which has almost completed a 12-year \u00a3650m investment programme of transformation. The English Cities Fund, in a joint venture with Muse Developments, Homes England and Legal & General, was named Public\/Private Partnership of the Year at the North West Residential Property Awards this month, for its Salford Central regeneration masterplan.<\/p>\n

New cultural quarter<\/h4>\n

Salford City Mayor Paul Dennett said of the development: “We want this to be a cultural quarter, and we are masterplanning this now. It could absolutely be the place that those priced out<\/a> of Manchester\u2019s Northern Quarter come to, and we have to make sure placemaking there is not driven by a simple return-on-investment agenda, which we\u2019ve seen too much of.”<\/p>\n

Manchester-based 5plus Architects won the bid for the Salford University masterplan in June last year, and the proposals are set to be revealed in the Manchester at MIPIM<\/a> pavilion at the property show in Cannes next month.<\/p>\n

On its website, 5plus says: “The ambition is to create a high quality knowledge district driven by enterprise, innovation, research and creativity with the intention of improving graduate retention<\/a> and encouraging inward investment. Good urban design and placemaking is referenced to create a place that is diverse, well connected and \u2018green\u2019 that also provides residential, employment and arts and cultural opportunities for this hugely significant part of Salford.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
