A major milestone for one of the largest single regeneration projects in the North-West has been reached this week as dignitaries gathered to mark the occasion.
UK-leading regeneration experts Scarborough Group International (SGI) has achieved topping out for ‘Railings’, phase three of Middlewood Locks, the £1bn mixed-use scheme and new neighbourhood under development in Salford.
Multi-award-winning developer Scarborough Group International (SGI) hosted a topping out ceremony at Railings where 189 new residential apartments and townhouses are being built and are available for sale.
Over 50 special guests gathered including Deputy Ceremonial Mayor of Salford and ward councillor for Ordsall, Tanya Burch, and the Chinese Consul General, Rui Tang. Senior representatives from SGI’s joint venture partners Metro, who flew in from Singapore for the event, main contractor BCEGI, Salford City Council, Homes England and the delivery team were also amongst guests.
Identified as a key strategic development opportunity more than twenty years ago, the 25-acre brownfield site where Middlewood Locks now stands has already been transformed into a thriving new mixed-use neighbourhood, directly connecting Salford to Manchester city centre.
It is now home to over 2,000 residents in 1,117 apartments. Seven Bro7hers Beer House, 92 Degrees Coffee Shop and a Co-op convenience store support the growing community within an established oasis of green spaces along the canal.
