Eda (short for Erie Dock Apartments[3] and formerly known as Anchorage Gateway),[4] is a 101-metre-tall (331-foot), 29-storey residential high-rise located in Salford Quays, Greater Manchester, England. It was designed by Chapman Taylor,[2] with Jon Matthews Architects serving as the delivery architect.[5] As of November 2025, it is the sixth-tallest building in Salford and the 25th-tallest in Greater Manchester.

History

[edit]

Planning

[edit]

The developer, Cole Waterhouse, purchased the site from COIF Charities Property Fund in August 2019. It was previously occupied by The Anchorage, a four-storey office building from the 1990s that had been used by Barclays.[6][7]

In April 2019, an outline planning application was submitted to Salford City Council for the demolition of the office building and the construction of a residential development of up to 31 storeys and 290 apartments, with up to 1,000 m2 (11,000 sq ft) of non-residential floorspace.[8] Planning approval was granted in November 2019.[9]

In March 2020, a reserved matters application was submitted to the council for 290 apartments with up to 400 m2 (4,300 sq ft) of non-residential floorspace within a part 19, part 28-storey building.[10] Planning approval was granted in October 2020.[6][7]
