The Slate Yard
Salford, UK
project overview
A vibrant residential community providing a gateway to the city
The Slate Yard is a vibrant, new neighbourhood comprising of three apartment blocks, The Graphite Building, Quartz Building and Flint Building. The high-quality PRS (Private Rented Sector) homes are the first buildings you encounter on crossing the River Irwell into Salford and prioritise their health and wellbeing. In their prime location, the BTR (Build To Rent) homes provide residents with views and connections to nature and are a gateway for the community to Manchester city centre.
Part of the New Bailey Zone Z/C Masterplan the residential blocks are a vital part of the wider regeneration of Salford Central, providing much-needed homes in this rapidly evolving commercial quarter. The development has revitalised the former brownfield site into a sustainable, vibrant place where people want to live.
We have found the AHR team to be extremely proactive in developing the brief and design for both the masterplan elements and the individual buildings. Their understanding of the project issues and knowledge of the market has helped us to deliver a first class product with excellent value”
