“Wavelength offers an exciting opportunity for a developer to create a new development within an area that has experienced extensive redevelopment over the past few years, resulting in what is now an outstanding business, cultural and residential hotspot. Destinations such as The Lowry, Quayside Shopping Center and IWM North in addition to employers such as BBC, ITV, University of Salford and Bupa having a strong presence has attracted a diverse range of residents, occupiers and visitors to Salford Quays.

“In addition, Salford City Council has recently launched its new blueprint, entitled Salford Quays: A New Vision in 2030, which details five guiding principles set around ensuring the area evolves even more over the coming years as a place that works for everyone, that puts people at its heart, that is dedicated to wellbeing and where creativity brings people together. Colliers is seeking a developer who really wants to be part of the Quay’s future, helping to celebrate communities and the history of the locality. ”
