BSC Group’s £180m plans to build Salford’s tallest towers have won planning from the local council.

The developer got the go-ahead for a new residential development at the Greengate site in Salford, Greater Manchester from Salford City Council last night.

Construction is due to begin on ‘Canopus Greengate’, which will consist of two towers of 31 and 47 storeys, containing 403 apartments and a pool and spa complex, in January 2008.

Flagship

A 230-room hotel, park and urban square, as well as 85,000 sq ft of offices and a 341-space car park, are also planned for the area.

BSC Group chief executive Bashar Issa said it would be the company’s flagship scheme in the city.
