BACKGROUND
Situated next to Spinningfields, New Bailey is a £650m mixed use development in an area of significant regeneration that aims to create a ‘gateway’ between Salford and Manchester.
Delivered in association with ECF - a joint venture between Muse Developments, Legal & General and Homes England, it creates a business hub with Grade A office space, residential buildings, car parking, restaurants, bars and public realm.
A7 is Morgan Sindall’s third project delivered under the masterplan.
SCOPE
The 21-storey building features 199 apartments, including 98 one-bedroom, 81 two-bedroom and 20 three-bedroom homes. Communal facilities at ground floor level include a gym and exercise studio, a lounge and cycle store, as well as a private dining room with a fully-equipped kitchen which can be booked out for events.
The construction utilises a reinforced concrete frame with post-tension concrete floor slabs. The core was constructed using slip form core construction, with the building founded on CFA piles.
Off-site modern methods of construction have been integral to the project, with the installation of 300 bathroom and en-suite modular pods.
The project features roof mounted photovoltaic panels which provide solar energy to the building. The building envelope features rainscreen cladding and curtain walling with masonry to the ground floor.
Morgan Sindall have performed outstandingly well, completing 14 weeks ahead of schedule, on budget and to an exceptionally high standard. The feedback from our funder has been that this is the best quality residential building it has received. We enjoyed an excellent working relationship with all of the project team, with a valued contribution from every member." Nick Hague, Project Manager, English Cities Fund
