The scheme named Obsidian will be located in the Greengate area towards the north of Manchester city centre and will comprise a 26-storey tower of 250 units: 30 studios, 93 one-bed, 110 two-bed and 15 three-bed apartments.

Amenities are planned to include a private dining room, gym, cinema room, coworking spaces and package storage, while the base of the building will hold 1,000 sq ft of commercial space.

The brownfield land scheme, which is planned to have a GDV of £84.5m, will be delivered by DOMIS, and marketed and sold by Salboy.

Works have already commenced on site and are expected to complete by Q4 2026.

Simon Ismail, managing director at Salboy, commented: “The schemes we develop with younger professional people in mind are often some of the most complex and creative - bringing together modern designs, compact inner-city locations and our future residents’ discerning tastes.

“We are delighted to return to Greengate, an area that connects the twin cities of Salford and Manchester and whose overdue regeneration we have been involved with for more than seven years.”
