Shaping the future

Crescent will continue the renaissance of Salford by building on its successes and bringing forward a new £2.5bn, 240-acre city district. The aim is to improve homes, lives and communities across Salford and beyond.

Salford rising

Through delivery of the Crescent masterplan we’ll create up to 7,000 full-time jobs, an innovation district to spearhead growth for the region, opportunities to drive prosperity through our actions to benefit the Salford community, biodiversity net gain, high-quality green spaces with 1000 new trees and two million sq ft of high-quality public space for everyone to enjoy.

Connecting people and places

Crescent will also create a transport hub, with safe, accessible routes throughout the wider Salford area. Sustainable travel is at the heart of every project and design decision.
