This week, Greater Manchester sees exciting new projects, including a food hall and a major building for the University of Salford
Greater Manchester: This week is buzzing with some cool development plans. A big new building is set to rise near Salford Crescent, plus a food hall is on the way in Denton.
The Salford project is part of a massive £2.5 billion masterplan. It’ll replace an old industrial site and house the University of Salford’s acoustics centre. Pretty neat, right?
Meanwhile, Denton is gearing up for a new food hall next to the civic square. And over in Wigan, there’s a huge plan for over 800 apartments and a hotel at the historic Wigan Pier area. Exciting stuff!
Let’s break down what’s happening in each borough this week.
In Bury, they’re planning a new pupil referral unit for about 50 kids. It’ll be set up in temporary buildings on a site that used to be a technical college.
Rochdale is looking to breathe new life into a century-old pub. The Reed Hotel, which has been empty for ages, might soon be turned into apartments. Sounds like a great way to preserve history!
Back to Salford, the new acoustics building could really change the game for the city. It’s all part of that big masterplan, and it’s exciting to see how it’ll benefit local research.
In Tameside, the food hall plans are looking good. They want to transform a row of shops into a vibrant food space, plus add some office space on top. Yum!
Trafford is also in the mix with plans for a battery energy storage hub. It’s all about storing energy and making the electricity network more efficient.
Finally, Wigan is moving forward with its Eckersley Mill development. They’re planning a mix of apartments and a hotel, which is a big step for the area.
