Embankment Exchange

Embankment Exchange is a residential development in the Greengate area of Salford, England. It comprises 300 apartments across two buildings connected by a central podium: the 107-metre North Tower and 50 m South Tower. The buildings were designed by Jeffrey Bell Architects.
As of January 2026, the North Tower is the fifth-tallest building in Salford and the 25th-tallest in Greater Manchester.

History

Planning

The planning application was submitted to Salford City Council in August 2015, and planning approval was granted in March 2016.

Construction

In 2017 Elliot Group commenced construction of the complex, then called The Residence, but progress was delayed the following year when main contractor Forrest went into administration. Work stalled again in 2020 pending the outcome of a wider fraud investigation, before restarting in February 2022 following the acquisition of the site by Legacie Developments, which renamed the project Embankment Exchange. Construction was initially expected to complete in 2023, and in October 2024 it was announced that completion was due by the end of the year. The buildings were completed in 2025.

Facilities

The development includes a spa, a gym, a residents' lounge and bar, work-from-home booths, and a 24-hour concierge.
