History
editPlanning
editThe planning application was submitted to Salford City Council in August 2015,[4] with planning approval obtained in March 2016.[5]
Construction
editIn 2017, Elliot Group commenced construction of the complex, then called 'The Residence',[2] but progress was delayed the following year when main contractor Forrest went into administration.[6] Work stalled again in 2020 pending the results of a wider fraud investigation,[6] before restarting in February 2022 following the acquisition of the site by Legacie Developments who renamed the development 'Embankment Exchange'.[7] Construction was expected to complete in 2023,[2] but is ongoing as of May 2024.
Facilities
editThe development will include a spa, gym, residents lounge and bar, work-from-home booths and a 24-hour concierge.[8]
