Plans for the £200m redevelopment of the former Soapworks at Salford Quays - including 450 apartments and a gated commercial hub - have been submitted.
They include three towers ranging in height from 10, 17 and 33 storeys which will take shape on land which is currently a car park next to Manchester Ship Canal on an 8.5-acre site.
However, the commercial element of the scheme will be delivered first with vacant commercial building Block D to be converted into 130,000 sqf ft of office space, taking the total on offer at the old Soapworks to 360,000 sq ft.
Block D will be nine floors high with a split-level gym and co-working facility. A basement cycle hub will include 245 cycle spaces, 245 lockers, 22 showers and changing facilities.
