Once the historic heart and administrative centre of medieval Salford, Greengate rose to prominence during the Industrial Revolution as a thriving hub for textiles and dyeing. Over time, however, the area declined into overcrowded neglect. Today, Greengate stands as one of Manchester’s most inspiring regeneration success stories.
Ideally situated beside the River Irwell, Greengate enjoys outstanding connectivity to Manchester’s commercial and cultural core. Its strategic location offers seamless access to the wider city.
Residents are just 5 minutes to Selfridges and Harvey Nichols, 7 minutes to Manchester Victoria Station, 15 minutes to Spinningfields and 20 minutes to the Northern Quarter.
Greengate’s central location is part of its deep appeal with residents offering all of Manchester at your door step.
Since the early 2000s, Salford City Council has partnered with developers and urban planners to reimagine Greengate as a sustainable and inclusive urban quarter. The council’s 2018 Regeneration Strategy lays out a bold plan to create a thriving mixed-use district with thousands of new homes, premium commercial space, and world-class public amenities.
Key regeneration milestones include:
Greengate Square: Completed in 2013 at a cost of £13 million, this award-winning urban plaza has become a vibrant community focal point.
Greengate Park: A future green sanctuary featuring landscaped gardens, event spaces, and areas designed to support local biodiversity.
Greengate Boulevard: A new pedestrian-friendly route that enhances walkability and stitches the neighbourhood together through thoughtful streetscape design.
These projects aim to improve quality of life, promote active travel, and foster a strong sense of place.
Greengate’s skyline has seen a dramatic transformation over the past decade, reflecting the area’s growing appeal and evolving identity. Today, residents enjoy a lifestyle that balances convenience, connectivity, and community.
Key features include:
Co-working spaces tailored for hybrid work
On-site gyms, lounges, and social hubs
24-hour concierge services
Pet-friendly living environments
Landscaped courtyards and shared terraces
Greengate is more than a place to live—it’s a thriving neighbourhood designed for the way people live today.
