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.
Willohaus
Work has begun on Willohaus, a second affordable Passivhaus housing project in Salford, bringing 100 high quality, sustainable one and two-bedroomed homes to the city. Designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible and help residents reduce their fuel bills. The homes at Willohaus on Peru Street are being delivered by ECF – our joint venture with Legal & General and Homes England – alongside Salford housing association, Salix Homes.
Salford Rise
We’re on site delivering Salford Rise, a key piece of infrastructure to help connect surrounding communities to Crescent Innovation and beyond. It will form an integral part of Crescent Innovation, bridging the barrier of Frederick Road and providing quality public realm to encourage active travel and collaboration.
