Eda (short for Erie Dock Apartments[3] and formerly Anchorage Gateway),[4] is a 101 metre-tall (331 ft), 29-storey residential skyscraper in Salford Quays, Greater Manchester, England. It was designed by Chapman Taylor,[2] with Jon Matthews Architects as the delivery architect.[5] As of February 2024[update], it is the fifth-tallest building in Salford and the 20th-tallest building in Greater Manchester.
History[edit]
Planning[edit]
The developer Cole Waterhouse purchased the site from COIF Charities Property Fund in August 2019. It was previously home to The Anchorage, a four-storey 1990s office building that had been occupied by Barclays.[6][7]
In April 2019, an outline planning application was submitted to Salford City Council for the demolition of the office building and a residential development of up to 31-storeys and 290 apartments, with up to 1,000 m2 (11,000 sq ft) of non-residential floorspace.[8] Planning approval was obtained in November 2019.[9]
In March 2020, a reserved matters application was submitted to the council for 290 apartments with up to 400 m2 (4,300 sq ft) of non-residential floorspace within a part 19, part 28-storey building.[10] Planning approval was granted in October 2020.[6][7]
Construction[edit]
Construction of Eda commenced in 2021 and the building was structurally topped out in April 2023.[3] The tower comprises 29-storeys, made up of ground, mezzanine and 27 levels of build to rent apartments.[2] It was anticipated to open in December 2023,[5] but the building was completed in September 2023.[11]
Facilities[edit]
The tower also includes co-working spaces, a cinema room, landscaped podium garden, roof terrace, private dining suite and fitness studio.[5]
Anchorage tram stop on the Eccles Line of the Metrolink system is located opposite Eda.[12]
