UK: Erie Dock Apartments, a 29-storey BTR scheme at Salford Quays, has topped out 12 weeks ahead of schedule.
Cole Waterhouse and Taurus Investment Holdings’ 290-unit BTR scheme Erie Dock Apartments, or Eda for short, is on track for practical completion in Q3 2023.
Contractor Domis Construction, was joined by project team representatives to mark the milestone with a visit to the building’s highest point. The building is currently the highest residential tower in Media City and Salford Quays.
The BTR scheme was formerly known as Anchorage Gateway. Designed by Chapman Taylor architects, Eda is a 250,640 square foot, L-shaped residential building comprising one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments which will be available for rent later this year.
Simon Gallanders, managing director of Cole Waterhouse Residential, said: “The Domis team has done a superb job to achieve topping out so early in the build programme and to be able to celebrate that milestone with the soft launch of the Eda brand makes this a special occasion for the team. Eda is Cole Waterhouse and Taurus’s first joint BTR targeted development in the UK and it was great to be able to celebrate topping out with them prior to the Easter break.”
He added: “Working closely with Domis to deliver the building safely, on time and to budget is, of course, the first step. The next is to create a brand which appeals to an ever more sophisticated occupier market. We have been working closely with our designers Peter & Paul to create a stand-out brand which really appeals to potential residents.”
Nick Jacobs, Taurus UK managing director, said: “We are thrilled to have been able to partner with Cole Waterhouse on Taurus’s re-entry project in the UK. Located in the heart of Salford Quays, Eda is the tallest tower in the area offering breathtaking views of the surrounding architecture. I am proud and thankful to the vision and incredible efforts of all our partners involved that have progressed Eda to the finish line ahead of schedule.”
