History

Planning

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.[3][4]

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.[5] Planning approval was obtained in November 2019.[6]

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.[7] Planning approval was granted in October 2020.[3][4]

Construction

Construction of Anchorage Gateway commenced in 2021 and the building was structurally topped out as of March 2023.[8] The tower comprises 29-storeys, made up of ground, mezzanine and 27 levels of build to rent apartments.[1] It is anticipated to open in December 2023.[2]

Facilities

The tower also includes co-working spaces, a screening room, landscaped podium garden, roof terrace, private dining suite and fitness studio.[2]

Anchorage tram stop on the Eccles Line of the Metrolink system is located opposite Anchorage Gateway.[9]
