Outline planning has been submitted for an 8.42-acre mixed-use development at Salford Quays, along with detailed plans for the redevelopment of the former Colgate factory.
The plans, submitted by The Carlyle Group and Abstract Nikal, were submitted after a considerable stage of public consultation, which returned a largely favourable verdict.
If approved the partners are planning to turn the factory into a 380,000 sq ft office, supported by ancillary consumer focused space on the ground floor, which might include retail, gym and restaurants.
The wider Ivory Wharf scheme would see the creation of a 200-bed hotel, retail space, residential development and further office space.
Mark Harris, director of The Carlyle Group, said: “Our plans for the Ivy Wharf development are a further reflection of our commitment to investing in the Manchester region, which we believe will continue to benefit from inward investment, as a significant regional business centre in the UK.
“This is our second project in the area having recently completed our development at Piccadilly Place, which comprises Three and Four Piccadilly Place, both grade A city centre office schemes which continue to attract major occupiers to the area.”
